Last week, I  had a conversation with with a lady who did not know any of her neighbors. She told me stories about how she had been so busy for so much of her life she did not have time for them.  In a tone of regret, she admitted that she had not seen then value of getting to know her neighbors. Things are different for her now and she would like to get to know them.  She and I spoke of ways to start to do that.

This got me thinking of how many of my neighbors I know and how much much or how little I know about each of them.  I also thought about how I met each of them.
