The way I met people in the totally new town I moved to was to volunteer with things I had an interest in. I got active in the horse community locally & at the horse park when a huge volunteer need came up with the world equestrian games. The deciration crew I got involved with has become a little family of close friends that annually wirks together decorating for the eventing show & we help out at other horse shows.

I always loved ballroom dance. I never imagined I would find quality ballroom dance lessons in small town america but I did & wow, great group if people to enjoy dancing & socializing with.

One never knows what rock we overturn that turns up wonderful people to interface with.....but what I found is that we have to take those steps, they win't come to us. When we arent feelung like outting oyrselves out there it does limit & create lonliness in our life.

I was dealung with PTSD & leaving a bad marriage when I moved here but was determined to break the way I had lived all my life & let my inner self out so I coukd find out who & what I really was. It was amazing to break those chains & find out that life really ciukd be wonderful even living alone in the country. I have met the mist winderful people in my life when I was finally able to open up.

Having supportive oeople in life is so important though I had no idea until I finally found it.
