I volunteer at a charity bookstore, which is great. I also go to yoga and aquafit classes. For a while I went to a book group and I belong to a calligraphers group who run monthly workshops. I'm joining a divorce support group next month, and I joined a women's social group who are pretty active. I also have a mantra of 'accept all invites' now. Before I would have been much more cautious/shy and now I just say yes.

Maybe think along some different avenues - keep fit, classes, creative, volunteering, social, educational, support, church (if you are a believer) and so on....the world is your oyster - but I think the main things are to find things you truly will enjoy and also extend your boundaries with the elements of new activites and meeting new people.

Good luck xx
