C.U. -- I left tf in '73, in Europe, and spent a couple yrs. wandering around there, before coming back to the States. I lived alone in the woods for a few yrs., but then gradually started to get more social. Even moved into a mobile home in a neighborhood! I was a very social type for quite some yrs., even marrying and raising 3. People always staying at my place, taking in the homeless, babysitting, feeding everybody, etc., kinda like you. Then for the last yr. or so, I've lived alone (separated from wife. Kids are all moved out, but I see them often). I like my space so much now! I can finally spend time reading again and doing things alone (Even just walking, biking, canoeing). I think the interactions I have now are much more rewarding for everybody. It's all a journey!
