Happy Sunday, Readers,
We cats are very protective of our mamma, and now there is a study we want to share with all of you that we think is interesting:
Cats don't avoid strangers who behave badly towards their owners, unlike dogsThe outcome of the study really surprised us. Cats are always considered standoffish. However, I would like to believe we would protect our mamma from a mean stranger.
And this got us thinking, what are we doing on the daily to protect our neighbors? Protect the community we live in? There is so much going on in the world, and a lot of it is ugly.
It seems to us being neighborly is a thing of the past, and I would like us to reenergize that sense of community. You can join us by doing something anonymously for a neighbor in need, or by volunteering and joining a local organization. Community groups are a great way to connect with neighbors and they empower us to make a difference in our world.
Here are some ideas, if you want to do something nice for a neighbor this spring:
- Give them a call and check in.
- Bring over a baked good or a home cooked meal.
- Offer to run an errand for them.
- Bring them flowers, or plant some for them.
- Next time you are heading to the store, ask them if they need anything.
- Take in their garbage pails.
- Shop at local businesses (supporting local is supporting your neighbor, and you can always pick up something for your neighbor there!).
Have fun doing something nice for your neighbor and please share what nice things your neighbors have done for you.
The purpose of life is to listen - to yourself, to your neighbor, to your world and to God and, when the time comes, to respond in as helpful a way as you can find. - Fred Rogers.
