Be "that" neighbor

When I say, "Be THAT neighbor," I don't mean the annoying one, I mean the one that goes a little bit above and beyond for those living so close to you. Our cul-de-sac is a pretty quiet one.... I'm amazed at how folks can walk out to their trash cans at the exact same time and not even say as much as a simple, "hello." My husband says that not everyone likes to yap as much as I do. Hey, that's a-okay! I get it! I blame my yapping on spending most of my daily hours around children; nevermind the fact that I've talked way too much since I was a kid myself. I don't need to know any personal stories or anything, but to completely ignore someone or act as though you don't even see them? Come on folks!!  I know some folks are a little more quiet, but be the neighbor you'd love to have. Look after those who live right next to you. Come out of your hermit shells and for the love of us yappers, say hello! We'll probably end up baking you a pie or something....
