[QUOTE="Star*, post: 337019, member: 4964"] RM, I never liked the stress of wondering how MY peace would be compromised despite all my efforts to detach and grow in a different direction whenever Dude was going to be released from any programs. I would find optimism easily replaced by cynicism. Oddly enough DF never really vocalized himself on the matter and now I'm finding out he felt very much the same way. Men just deal differently. As to your hobbies and group of friends, sounds like Suz gave you a wonderful suggestion in your art. Here where I live there are so many different artists groups, and classes all the time one could go anywhere. Hobby Lobby and Michaels, Joannes have classes for all different levels. Youth centers are always begging for teachers (paid of course), Tech college has classes, Orphanages, Childrens homes, Women's & Children's Shelters, Mental Health - I mean why not start your own little business teaching? The big thing here right now is painting the outsides of coffee shops and little bistro's. It's huge. Also there's ballroom dancing. If you enjoy kinda being alone but like to get together with people once a week and have something to look forward to, like to exercise, and have the choice to compete or not? It's an awesome sport. My Mom is fantastic. Trinity does it. I have two left feet and I even try. What about a zoo? If I had any time OMG I would SO work at the zoo. Feeding animals. I know a lady that goes in a couple times a week to be a giraffe companion. She LOVES it. Set schedules, made friends with others that enjoy animals. What about hosting a book club at your house with a twist? A historical book club? Everyone has to read about a historical figure, then come once a week to talk about that person or event? Just thinking out loud. [/QUOTE]
