THE NEIGHBORHOOD

I've written about my neighborhood before.  Today one of our own is in surgery.  She found out just two weeks ago that she had a brain tumor.  This awful news, of course affects her family in the worst way.  She is their center, their rock.  But the news affects our neighborhood, because this lovely lady is part of all of us.  We are so close here.  We look out for one another.  We love one another. 
 There was a huge snowstorm last night.  As I drive through the streets I see so many out shovelling their neighbors driveways and walks.  Maybe for a widow, or for someone who is having a difficult time getting around.  Or maybe just to be nice.  And the shovellers aren't spring chickens either!  Men in their 70's and 80's out there making sure that those living around them will be able to get out and not slip.  Women out shovelling for those living next to them.  People taking meals in or just visiting because they know a friend is having a hard time. 

We are a blessed people..It is a good place to live.
