Get to Know Your Neighbors

It is always helpful to know at least one neighbor in your area. Whether you live in a house or apartment, neighbors can be extremely helpful. Not everyone will want to be friends but if you talk to enough people hopefully you can find one person to connect with. When you find a friendly neighbor get to know them by name and exchange phone numbers. Neighbors can watch your home if you go on vacation, collect your mail, give you a ride if your car breaks down, borrow milk or sugar if you run out, etc. It is always nice to know someone in the neighborhood. So next time you see a neighbor don't put your head down or run into the house, smile and wave and see if you can start a friendship today.
