Oh, who are the people in your neighbourhood?
In your neighbourhood?
In your neighbourhood?
Say, who are the people in your neighbourhood?
The people that you meet each day.
A Sesame Street song from many years ago and still sung today for children, but how often do we, as adults, think this way.
In a world where many people meet through the Internet first for personal, professional or purchasing purposes, how often are we purposefully aware of meeting the people in our neighbourhoods in a person-to-person, face-to-face way?
It happened today when I finally gave in to a curiosity that a business sign has risen in me for a few years now. Looking for that miraculous answer to the need to lose some weight, I entered the clinic to inquire about how cool sculpting actually works. I could have researched it online but I just decided to ask in person and in doing so met some new-to-me neighbours.
I was reminded, from those new-to-me neighbours, that I still have to put into practice the discipline and mindset to eat healthy, exercise and lose the weight. Freezing the weight off doesn’t work. Should I know that already? Of course I should, but it was nice to meet new people and actually talk about it.
It got me thinking: maybe some people would like to have a face-to-face neighborly conversation about how our spiritual life works instead of just waiting for that miraculous shift to kick in. My door is always open, neighbour.
