My WOTY (word of the year) for 2024 was "Community." However, I am still very focused on connecting with people in my new county. In fact, I am obsessed with building bonds with a number of institutions and a number of people.
It is challenging to move in your 60s. It's even more challenging to move to a rural area where many people my age are not open to forming new connections. Many women my age here already have their daughters, their daughters in law, and their best friends from elementary school. They do not have any time (nor the inclination) to connect with new people. I would probably be the same way if I had deep roots in my town.
Nevertheless, I am spending a lot of time working to connect with people formally and informally.
