I understand the not feeling the joy. I don't want to talk to my inner circle about how I really feel because I don't want to burden them or make them worry. I wish I had more friends but I lost most of them when I got divorced. So I let my daughter sign me up for a church group of single women. It's a 10 week commitment. I don't know how I am going to find the courage to go out and meet these people and really talk to them but I am going to try because I don't want to be a lonely person. I took care of my kids for 23 years and now that they are almost all grown I don't really have a purpose. So building a new life has begun. I know there is a way, I just have to find it.
