The other day I began thinking about my neighbors and remembering the special times or familiar routines we shared.  Some of them I know by name and am well acquainted with, others only a slight acquaintance has been established with a smile and passing hand wave.  Either way our neighbors offer a certain feeling of warmth and sanctuary to our lives, which is much like the feelings we associate with our homes. 

When an ambulance shows up at our neighbor's home or their familiar pet has not been spotted in awhile, we immediately begin to have concerns.   Neighbors are many times some of the most cherished people in our lives.  Lasting relationships are often formed, which last a lifetime even though life's journey may have changed our status of "neighbor". 

I decided to add a page to Great Finds For You, which reflects upon the importance of neighbors.  The Christmas season is a great time to remember our neighbors.  A great way to help build upon our relationship with neighbors is by giving them a gift this special time of year and letting them know how much we appreciate them and how important they are in our lives. 

If you don't really know some of your neighbors, a great way to build a relationship is with a simple hand wave the next time you see them.  Sometimes you may experience that a neighbor does not wish to build any type of relationship.  If so, this will become apparent, but for the most part I believe you will find this is not the case. 

Remembering our neighbors during the holidays can also be done by giving them a holiday card and writing a heartfelt message.  This is a great way to build upon our relationships with the neighbors. 

Have a blessed day! 

Cheers,
