"Before moving here, I hadn't
realized how narrowed-down life
alone had become. I was going out
less: too much trouble, easier to
just stay home and call or email.
Here, everything is at hand -
accessible by a sprightly walk out
into our community. For mail. For a
sandwich at lunch. To an art class.
To the Saturday night movie. To a
stroll by the bay. Exercise is built
right into life here, in do-able
doses! At every step, I collect
smiles and hello's. It's hard to
feel down when you're smiling.
Not just hard. Impossible!
