Talking to a neighbor — Raven’s Roads

Talking to a neighbor (Raven’s Roads)

We isolate ourselves. It’s really quite unnecessary. Neighbors might never become your closest friends, but they could become allies. The easiest way to meet a neighbor is to throw a house-warming party, if you can do something like that. If not, then you could simply start with a hello when you spot the neighbor on the way to work, and ease into a “how are you doing” and take it from there. Conversation happens, relationships build, one sentence, one wave at a time. Stop telling yourself that you don’t have time. Really, what have you got to do that’s better than conversation? Watch TV?
