GAW is your family, pedes—but we're not your immediate friends! Covid did some real damage to our lives, and many of us have seen our social support circle of friends (and acquaintances, also important!) shrink. Covid ends when we heal and rebuild our social circle! Take a chance! GET OUT THERE! 🐸

He is, of course. There's no one more important. We used to socialize with others occasionally and I had women friends I stayed in touch with. No more. But that seems to be the case for many people now.
We're about to move again to a rural area where I'll probably see even fewer people. On the other hand, the people we will see will be conservative and family-oriented, so that's good. I'm thinking about going back to church, but my husband thinks church people are crazy. I know they can be, but I think it's the only hope I have. We'll see how it goes.
Thank you so much for the link. I didn't even know that your forum existed since I only hang around here for news, though I did also join The Prayer Garden. I will join tonight.
Thank you also for the advice on finding a church. It gets so confusing and discouraging when I look at church websites and see that so many have a "contemporary" format, and I don't enjoy that. I appreciate churches that are more old-fashioned and simple.
My husband grew up in an extremely Catholic household and went through twelve years of strict Catholic school, so he pretty much refuses to try a church at this point. He thinks they're all bad and doesn't want anything to do with it. I am hoping and praying that he will become more open to it. Maybe moving to the area where we're going will help with that. I have a feeling that all the people we will meet there will be church people, so he's going to have to get used to it to some extent, lol.
