Also, my wife and I are both a bit shy, so making friends is a slow process. But we're doing well. As you said, I've also often heard to plan on the adjustment being a gradual process. So far that seems to be true.
[B]Maybe there's a club here...the Retirement Adjustment Club...hmmm.
I wish this club existed when we moved here 5 yrs ago. The first 6mo were the hardest . It will get better so hang in there.
