Ready , Willing, and Able

Now that I am ready, willing, and able how do I begin? What does a 55 y.y person do to meet new friends? I know that I 'm not your typical middle aged woman...I am not main stream and surely not in the box that society tends to place folks into. I have attempted to engage new friendships but to no avail. People are closed and generally not soulful. Many are beat down from the fictional lives they lead ... I look at the faces of people as I pass around in general. The faces are frowned they look so unhappy as they go about their days. Most are on automatic pilot not even aware of the drive to where they are driving to. I have met with different groups searching for an inkling of someone who is near where I am. Someone who is happy inside and who can remove the frown for a smile. I like the folks whom I have met here and on other cyber space but where are they in the tangible world? People in my age group seem to be racing home to the sofa and waiting for the dirt. I know this sounds grim but it's a reality. I love all kinds of people it doesn't matter where they are from or their culture. Younger people seem to have the zing that I seek but not the maturity...I want someone who reads books and not just the internet, but at least they are a live and vibrant. I am walking away from the toxic world and this is what I find when I venture out to commune with other baby boomers. I prefer female energy because guys are on a whole other planet when it comes to friendships. Yet women in my age group can't seem to break out of the society norm. So I find myself walking the planet alone; however I do have two close friends whom I've known for more than twenty years, I love them dearly but they have become like an old fixture in my life. One is in a toxic relationship and wants to share toxicity when I do try to visit with her; the other one is more lively but is just not on the same path as I. Men seem to think that it has to go to the "sheets" when a woman wants to spend time with them. I am not one who goes looking for love because I believe that love is just suppose to find you or just happen. The folks that I have had the pleasure of loving have just appeared in some unplanned way. I like it that way...it's also winter and it's cold and people want to stick close the inside. I guess or hope warm weather bring warm connections .I will turn my quest over to the universal forces and ask for guidance to tangible kindred relationships. UNIVERSE WILL YOU PLEASE BRING FORTH THE KINDRED SOULS I SEEK IN THE MOST DIVINE WAY? I THANK YOU FOR ASSISTANCE AND KNOW THAT I AM READY,WILLING, AND ABLE TO TAKE ACTION.
