I'm in better shape now than when I was in my 40s, but you never know what the future brings.<br /><br />My post today was about getting out and meeting new people. Guess we were thinking the same thing.<br /><br />It's important. Not for finding a husband or even making money, but for your health. I depend on my husband for comfort, security and friendship, but what happens if he dies before me? I'd be virtually alone and emotionally crippled as well.<br /><br />Get out there, hon.

And i frequently call myself a hermit (because i rarely leave the house anymore)<br /><br />Maybe you could start with a part time job? Just something for some extra money, some socialization, but nothing so much that it interferes with the writing or the time you spend with Monster and all the other things that are great about being hermitsSarah Ahiershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02795455714801965956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4174226224096540850.post-42094614464784409092015-03-09T12:12:56.789-04:002015-03-09T12:12:56.789-04:00I hope you find what you're looking for.

Perhaps a part-time job? Maybe one in the school systems where you volunteer now as an aid or something? Not sure if it's a public or private school, but if public, there could be retirement benefits if you work long enough? And summers to dedicate to writing? Just a thought.Lizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16170701034715108039noreply@blogger.com
