9. Making friends is a hard one

Any friend should therefore be cherished..

Some thoughts-
join a group you connect with - moveon.org, the local dem party or peace coalition, history group, NAMI, yadda yadda.. Think about the type of people you would want to meet, then try to find a group to sidle up to.

smile. studies show this is the key to making friends.

This year I have three local political races that are interesting. I am willing to work hard for free, and politicians eat up good workers with relish. Try GOTV (getting out the vote) for some local dems or greens.

In my area there are three different day programs for MH clients. I would go to a day program and see if they have anything that interests you. You might be able to start a political discussion group for MH people. What joy.

Lastly, keep posting in this forum. We good people here - we are real - we exist and friendship form.
