A Most Uplifting Time

One year ago, Cathie and I moved From a thriving, bustling Adult Lifestyle Community With many many friends our own age To a new community where we knew no one I am still having difficulty coping Never in my whole life was I ever as happy As those wonderful seven years I spent there A truly life changing experience for me I was never a “people person” before we moved there It surely changed my life dramatically And I became someone I had always wanted to be Outgoing... enjoying the companionship Of both male and female friends It was the most uplifting, fulfilling time of my life I am missing it soooo badly Thank goodness for Poetry Soup! © Jack Ellison 2014

I understand. I was an extrovert at my job- Always busy, with people all over. The company went under. They offered me to stay, with the shadow it became. But it was time to slow down. I went on disability after 30 years of avoiding it. It's easier, But my solitude and loss of the daily mad dash... is lost. I'm at my computer to be around people. Tho thanks to you and Dragon, I learned to play. Still, the solitude remains. I cope better, but no one to cope WITH, and I'm goal orientated, OUCH!
