I used to crochet quite a bit, but my hands don't cooperate much anymore. I love to color/paint, do Word Search Puzzles, but can only last for half hour, 45 minutes the most. I get up like I'm 90 years old and my hands cramp up, but I force myself to do things. I don't get out a lot, but when I spend time with friends and family I enjoy myself and pay for it later. 🤭🤦🏻‍♀️. Sending hugs, Darlene

I forgot one very helpful thing to do. There’s a website/app called meet up. There are people on there who have the same interests as you. There are plenty of things that you can do online like learning another language (my favorite) or there are groups where you can meet people. All the information you need is on the page including people who are going. All of the in person events are carefully screened so you don’t have to worry about getting scammed
