Blindsided but finding my way (3)

[Ahoy]

rpp -- keep trying Meetup! That's been my go-to source for GAL these days. Some events are better than others, but there's something to be said for meeting new people, hearing new stories (everyone has had their challenges in life), and doing things with a group without the pressures of a "date."

I feel the same way about not having single friends - it's difficult at this stage in life. I feel like I'm the odd man out in musical chairs. Everyone managed to find a seat, and I landed on my a$$ on the floor. (And the music has stopped and everyone is staring at me.)

I've met some really nice men and women through MeetUp -- I especially like the hiking groups because it's conducive to conversations. Tomorrow, I'm going to a concert with one meetup group, and on Saturday I'm going to a hayride/barn dance/potluck with another. There are lots of fun opportunities to connect and get out of the house. Go find them!
