I have a lunch group I get together with once a week. I started going to a book store out of boredome years ago. I began to talk to a man who also frequented there. We became friends. Graduallyhe introduced me to others there. One of those was part of a lunch group- a long time tradition of entertwined friendships and relations - daughters mothers fathers.... The group has since gotten smaller since the founding member died but we still go. I have a set of good friends that care for each other. Get out and about- join a club... Something like this could happen to you too.
