Well, I just got back from lunch with my neighbor. It went really well. We talked a lot about our children and the schools. She did ask how I was doing, and I let her know a little about it. Now, of course, I am worried about the next time because I should be the one to invite her out. That will really take some bravery on my part, but I guess I need to try.
Thanks for the replies, advice and encouragement. I know I have friends here!
