New to group...I get up, take care of dogs, thinking what would I do withhout them...I think I need them more than they need me at times...I take care of my sister, who is retired. I make it to the store, and right away I try and smile but I just opt to be on the down low as I feel people are thinking that I'm outta place as I'm alone, no wife or kids and in a small town, people know everyone and sometimes it`s difficult to admit that I have a failed marriage and after almost four year, have not recovered financially and emotionally...I have dated but it seems most women I meet are empty nesters and all they want is good times, yachts, going to expensive beach vacations and when they see I'm retired, the brakes go on and I don't fit into their jetset lifestyle, it's so long sucker...Anywhoo, I have lived in the same rural town for 40 years and believe that everybody knows my problems and they forget all the good qualities in me and focus on the negative...So I get back from store, do house chores and by then I'm so mentally tired I nap, then sometimes get lost in all my old shows...By that time I fix dinner for us then I have no feelings of accomplishment...I don't know why I feel negative towards myself, so any ideas or strategies would be a boon to my daily regimen...thank you
