I would like to make new friends for general conversation only
Watch this postI have recently moved to a new home, and I feel very isolated where I am living not knowing many people here. I would very much like to make and chat with some new friends. Is there anyone else in the same situation?

My husband has leukemia, but so far it has not required any treatment.
What is your career? I worked as a technology manager and renewal specialist for a state agency. Loved my job, but my husband was alone so much that I retired in June.
Where did you live before the move?
My husband and I moved two years ago to our current place after 27 years in a house we loved. The new house was a very bad choice for us, but the neighbors are very nice.
You must have an extreme amount of energy if you worked with children - though they will keep you young! How many years did you work in that profession?
My name is Nancy. I'm 63 years old and as I said, I retired in June after working for the State of Minnesota for just over 40 years.
Thank you for getting back to me and I hope you both have a good evening.
Life hasn't been easy for me over the past few years coping with family illness , not just my husband but myself and my younger daughter as well .
I was a child care worker for six years , I only did part time work before that as i had a family of three children .
I do wonder how i find the strength and energy to get through each day but somehow i manage .
Kind Regards
From June .
Believe me I understand. This not my husband's first bout with cancer. He lost a kidney to it several years ago. My daughter was born with multiple birth defects and still has ongoing health issues. I make myself sick sometimes worrying.
How many children do you have? I only have the one daughter. She recently became engaged to someone she's only known for a little while. Another worry.
We have no option, but to deal with this stuff do we?
When will you find out the results of your husband's scan MRS? I will keep both of you in my prayers.
My email address is jacknan45@gmail.com if you would prefer to communicate through email.
Today is very chilly for August, but we've been having temperatures in the high 80s - low 90s so it feels pretty good in comparison. Since completing my cancer treatments, I've been trying to walk every day and walking isn't so appealing when it's hot.
Take care,
Nancy
Are you ok ?
I'm 81 - 82 in June, and whilst my sister was suffering, I started to realise just how small my circle of friends had become over the years; for some odd reason many old friends, even acquaintances, were vanishing one by one! So I've decided to start over, and build a new social circle, though it seems of necessity to be by social media!
Where did you move to - and from where?

I have just joined also.
Assuming you mean U.K., I live near Lincoln and also have a dog - a little dog - Maltese/Cavalier.
I miss walking round Lincoln parks, I must say.
I have no family and on my own. Not always easy is it? You just have to adapt, I guess, but it exposes the lack of family at times like the present.
How is everyone coping with lockdown? I’ve been catching up with the DIY jobs - do it yourself rather sums it up!
Anyway, I’m new here so a big ‘hello’ to everyone. Hope to chat soon.

Welcome to our forum! If you're finding yourself lost, why not start by looking at our current topics. We look forward to getting to know you better.
In spite of my ability to keep myself connected and active, I find living alone really hard, especially at this age, when, our options seem limited. Not for activity, but for relationship. I miss conversation, hugs, family around me in my home. I can only get a small pet in my present home, and I like big dogs, so, I don't know...
Would love to chat with similar aged people, any State, California would be nice, and the Bay Area really nice! And very interested in Scotland, as I am half-Scottish. My grandparents were born about 15 miles south of Glascow. I have never been, but, on my Bucket list.
Here's to chatting! Shelley
Would love to make new friends for conversation
Nope, I can’t stand gardening, I have a guy that does mine..lol
