The Feeling of Community

Written July 18, 2013

I breathe in the feeling of community.

Everyone I know breathes in the feeling of community.

Everyone I don’t even know breathes in the feeling of community.

----------------------

My ideal is to know and enjoy and appreciate the people in my community.

I do know and enjoy and appreciate many individuals, but I would like to do it more consistently and in more of the places I frequent.

It is called old-fashioned neighborliness.

I am taking steps to be more conscious about expressing appreciation.

I am changing aspects of my life-style that keep me isolated.

I am changing my landscape to a welcoming combination of plants and shrubs that are easy to care for.

I am spending time outside in my front yard.

I am creating Container Gardens to share.

I am placing myself in situations where I can give.

I am setting up workshops where others can share their skills and knowledge.

We all have ways we can contribute to our communities and enjoy learning from others.
