Thanks for the input, mymask. I'm in my lower 40's. I agree ... friends are hard to make. I'm acquaintances with many, just no one I would actually turn to for help, etc. Does that make sense? Once it's possible, I'll move to another state to be closer to my immediate family, but that's a few years down the road yet. I'm not looking for love anymore, gave up the ghost on that one; I've gotten pretty used to being on my own, and like things a certain way now, lol. I think what I'm really looking for is a person or two that I can lean on in the tough times. I thought about joining a gym, maybe I would meet some people there? Church would be a great option, but I have a hard time with organized religion (long story).

Thanks again, and I hope you have an enjoyable weekend,
jayne
