With only a few days at the OFH I fill the social calendar: breakfast, lunch, dinner, coffee... Joanne should not have worried about me being a social isolate in her absence. Inmates in the OFH who know me ask "How long are you staying?" Not long this time, "this" I say "is my vacation home. Upon each return many new faces are seen. Some of whom ask me, "Are you new?" Always the wag I reply, "No I'm old!"
Back at The Little House socializing is more dependent on the phone. But, that too, is a valuable social tool. Doing most of the calling it's always a treat when someone calls me. Introverts need people, though it's in being alone that we regain energy.
Takk for alt,
Al
