Have we as a society forgotten what it is like to be a friendly neighbor? Gone are those times when our neighbors were our best friends, where we share in BBQ’s and the occasional wine bottle. We are so busy with our own lives that we forget or ignore the fact that we should have relationships with our neighbors.
There were times when we could depend on our neighbors to pick up our children from school, get the mail for us or check on our homes when we are gone. The problem is that we do not trust anymore. We are cocked and ready to accuse them of crimes and slam them with lawsuits.
This season I want you to make an effort to get to know your neighbors. Bake them a cake or some cookies, or share a glass of wine. Let’s pick up the spirit of our country and truly make an effort to reach out. We are all in this together, and there are more good people out there then you think.
Until next time.
