Elizabeth

My limited social circle is confined to a handful of devoted friends and my family (who live some distance away). I'm 40-something, an only child, childless myself and perpetually unattached romantically. I tend to be comfortably introverted and, at present, am quite relieved to not have the usual obligations of wife/motherhood to interfere with my pursuits. But will I regret this indulgence in my declining years? If I'm on the wrong path, I have to act NOW to secure a happy future. Change or soldier on?
