Never Too Old For New Friends

Dear Suz, My monthly girls’ get-together is wearing thin. We four are college friends and have seen and heard everything. Almost 70, they seem to be standing still and are consumed with themselves and illnesses. I’m frustrated. 

Dear Frustrated, Their world may have shrunk with physical limitations that come with age. Since you’ve known each other so well and experienced a lot together, listen deeper and create interesting conversations other than sympathy or moaning and groaning. Expand your world to include others that will keep you stimulated for the remaining years. -SQ
