she says adults rarely look for new friends and it will be hard for me to find friends, because everyone is married, or already has enough friends, or is too busy parenting and working, and so on and so on. no one will want to invest in forming a new friendship at this age, she says.
i have to believe she’s wrong. I have to believe that I’m not the only one whose finding myself at the age of 34 needing to begin new relationships and start a new sort of life.
I hope I can brainstorm some good ways to meet kindred spirits.

stayed at mom’s from saturday until today, avoiding going home to my apartment. last night my friend Al called my cell phone quite late (since he knows I’m always up). I didn’t want to wake my mom and sister, so I went out to the back porch to chat with him. Technically, this was today, because it was 12:30 – 1:30 am.
It was warm and the moon was yellowy and the sky was clear. The shadows of the railing were thrown crisp across the deck and the cicadas were chirping madly. It was extraordinarily lovely and good to be able to have a long chat outside on a sensual summery night and marvel at the bright, crisp moonlight and moon shadows.
At one point the kitchen light came on and a bright yellow pool of light spilled over the deck. I saw my sister go into the kitchen in her PJs, and bend over by the window to gather something from the floor. Her hair is short and very thick and straight and it was wet and combed back. I never see it that way. When she bent over it sort of swelled forward like a wave in the front and she looked like Elvis Presley. I felt very happy to watch this nice little scene from my chair on the back porch. Then the pool of light clicked off again and I was back with the moon. It was great.
