I have lots of on-line friends. Some I have known many years but never met them in person. I hope to put this right one day.

I got myself into a very reflective mood while I was walking yesterday. I never made friends easily. That is the kind of friend you can actually meet and do things with. I know this very well. I should do by now because I am 60.

I was thinking about the friends I have had over my life. I realised that I met them all at school, at work or at a day centre. I have not worked in 5 years. My school friends are long gone. I no longer attend a day centre.

I am used to not making friends but I still worry about it. I am not complaining (much) but I am just thinking out loud.
