Hi Kara!
As we get older, it does get more challenging to get out and meet people and make new friends. But, there are so many ways to meet new people, it's really just about getting out there and doing things that interest you. You could take a special interest course (a friend of mine has taken a couple of courses on upholstering furniture, and is trying to get me interested in going to the next course!), join a book club, a cycling club, even a walking club (exercise and friendship would be good). There is volunteer work where you would meet other volunteers, so you would be meeting people there who shared some of your interests. And, don't forget about getting out and getting to know your neighbors. That can be fun. And, it's nice to have friends in the neighborhood looking out for one and other.
Take care.
Tamara
p.s. Did you get moved? If so, how did it go? How are the cats doing?
