"Hiding inside my home for the greater part of three years has taken an emotional toll, and left me rusty at interacting with friends and acquaintances. I’ve been struggling for some time now to rebuild my social skills and connections...." This really resonates. Thanks for articulating it so clearly, as always. Glad the pool is helping remove the "rust."

Lord love a community pool and relearning being a person in the world! Hearing about these two of them (in Calif and NY) and their social aspects was really fun. Yes, there was some time in there to get rusty, eh. I'm around more people now at a new condo community and a new job; in both cases it's helping.
