Liz, I notice the difference in your post when you have your little grandson around.  He gives you a focus and keeps your spirits lifted.  I think you should volunteer somewhere that you can be with kids or cuddling the babies in ICU.  Although it depends if you want adult company when you volunteer. I also know there are seniors that are lonely and need a visit. I don’t know what I would do if I volunteered at something.  My work keeps me too busy right now, but I know that I would love holding the babies.  I went out last night with friends, there are 10 of us in a book club but sometimes we don’t even talk about the book.  It was the wind up for summer so we went for dinner.  It was so much fun and I notice that it has lifted my spirits.  There are about 5 of us that are going to the theatre in a couple of weeks – a light comedy about girls. I am looking forward to that.  It shows me that I need to do things for me that I enjoy.  I know that you go to different support groups and that is awesome, but is there any organizations/groups that you could get involved with just for fun.  The book club we go to is so much fun – laughter seems to help lift the spirits.  Take care Liz and be kind to yourself.  I am going for a pedicure soon – and I am going to start thinking about it now!!! One day at a time my sweet lord…
