You have friends, and you know me personally. Don't worry. I moved all the way from Alaska with 2 dogs in a pick-up truck only knowing 1 person. Started my life all over and I was nervous and it was a scary. But I couldn't see myself living alone in Alaska for the rest of my life, even though I loved it, and I am somewhat of a loner and I could have really gotten into being a hermit up in Alaska. But I knew this was the best thing for me, moving to The Villages. I have lived here 8 months and have great neighbors, friends, and very good support group from my "sisters", as I support them also. I am busy when I want to be, and never feel "alone". I am your friend and I will help you any way I can. That goes for you too Katie!

Thanks. As the clock ticks down closer to September I find my excitement about the move overshadowed by the reality of walking away from everything that's comfortable. I'm sure anyone who is making this move on their own feels this way. After all, it's a major life change and financial investment. That's why these threads and the other singles I've met here have really helped to reduce the anxiety. And these monthly Meet and Greet parties, that Kitty started, seem to have gone a long way to lessen the likelihood that once in TV we don't end up isolating ourselves, simply because the singles clubs are a little too intimidating. The feedback from those who have gone to these parties have had nothing but good things to say about these more intimate social gatherings. Speaking of that has anyone stepped up for the August party? It would be nice to keep it going. Since I have September and Cha has October it looks like there is the possibility that we could maintain a Meet and Greet social club (albeit non recognized officially) which might help a lot of singles who have not ventured out as yet.
