Pennie, my heart goes out to you in your situation. I don't know of anything that I can add to what others have said, but feel free to email me, too, if you need someone to talk to. MaggieMB |

Stephanie it sounds like you and I are a lot alike.

I,also, moved far from my family in California. I have lived here for about 2 years. When I first read the MJF magazine I knew I had to join. It is a place where I feel comfortable and can be with caring, wonderful women. I live in a new neighborhood where most people are working and busy with their children. My children are grown and I can chat, share and have a sense of belonging here at MJF. Love this place.

What a great thread! I have a couple of friends but find myself feeling lonely, too. I see them occasionally because of the distance apart we live. Even 30 minutes apart has limits in a busy life. We text a lot but it's not the same as being together in person. I don't know any of my neighbors well enough to walk on over and start shooting the breeze. My husband and I have different interests that keep us both busy and we are very understanding of each other in that respect. Sometimes I'm knee deep in something when he has spare time and vice versa. I'm hoping I'll get to meet some farmgirls in my neck of the woods also. I'd love to be able to go 5 minutes to someone's house and hang out in their garden and talk "shop." Until then I'll just have to hang around here and get to know you ladies.

Afternoon, ladies. May I say hello to the Calif gals who have moved? I too moved a couple yrs ago. It has been a huge change and adjustment to weather especially. But, these forums have been just the greatest and I have met some amazing ladies. Brenda (classygram) and I have become very close and it has been a joy and a blessing. Have even been able to get together a couple times. Talk on the phone often.
THe farmgirls are just a great bunch and what a blessing to be able to have a place to come too where we can be ourselves and not have to fit into the rest of the world.
Bless each of you!!

I'm sorry and understand the feeling. My family lives far away and when my son was younger and I knew no one I was so sad. In the past few months I had felt the same way as I had surgery and couldn't leave the house with every one else at work and school. Then I prayed and asked God to help me to be content with my situation. He did.
Blessings!
