I TOTALLY get that feeling of all of your friends being married with children, so it makes it super difficult to do "single people" things. I was in the same boat, but here's the deal. You need to get yourself some new friends, literally. I know that sounds difficult, but it's not as hard as you might think. There are lots of us out there, and we are all looking for stuff to do. Join a church group, take a class, go for your run in a very busy area. Place yourself in areas where you are available to meet new people and do new things. Start working on that bucket list! That's what GAL is about. It is not about staying home and visiting with your old crony's! You need to branch out and start connecting with a new circle of people, with new activities. That doesn't mean you have to ditch your old friends, it just means that you need to add new things to your world. NOBODY is going to come to your house and knock on your door, with fun and exciting new activities. You need to go find them. Want to know what I am doing today? I volunteered to take a Girl Scout troop to the fire department. It sounds like nothing, but I've met 4 new friends, since becoming involved with my daughters troop. With that, I have gone on several adult activities with them, bowling, out for drinks, movies, whatever. It is the new stuff that gets you in gear, not the same old same old. It doesn't have to be huge, but it should be different than your normal routine.
I want to hear your new list for this week, Stacey! How are you going to expand your world?
