Stay within crosswalk. Watch for cars turning into crosswalk. Before crossing, make certain all cars have stopped. Never assume the driver will see you or be able to stop in time. Your safety is your responsibility.
New activities can bring new friends.
Participate in community activities as long as you are able. Be a volunteer or become a member or an officer in a new organization. Develop a mutual reassurance 'buddy system' with a friend outside your home. Plan at least weekly contact and share openly with this person. Keep regular medical, dental, barber, hairdresser, and other personal appointments.
