I'm fully aware of how you are feeling... please don't linger there too long... if you can help it. Your community is still there...they don't forget you. Plus, you can write as a correspondent as you are able. My old hometown newspaper print my letters whenever I write!
Life changes. It changes us and what we do. We have been forced into a different lifestyle, you and me...and others. No, we didn't select it. I'm having a doost of a time figuring my role in life now... I hope you can find one for yourself. TC ((candy)) you aren't "useless" you just haven't found what to do now.
