By the way, prices are not all that low in Florida, especially in the cities.
What about thinking of another way of being adventurous? What about traveling? What about learning to do something new?

I have three very dear friends with whom I've cultivated a lasting relationship over the years. I doubt I could find such in a new location. I, too, tend to be a homebody who keeps to herself most of the time. I've also had to acknowledge to myself lately that I have the condition of social anxiety, particularly when it comes to my art. I much prefer selling my art online rather than getting out and interacting with the public. I've
done it, in shows and in galleries, and even joining arts groups, but I suffer when I'm in those venues.
I think I should start small, taking some short "day" trips. That is manageable.
Thanks, all of you, for your feedback!
