Being Neighborly

I've lived on my block for over six years now.  I'm friendly enough, but not terribly close with my neighbors.  I mind my own business and try to be sure I don't bother anyone with an unkempt yard.  When it snows, I try to help clean the snow from my neighbor's sidewalk along with my own.  It's a nice place.

Now I'm moving and I'm a bit sad I'm leaving my friendly little street.  I ran into my next door neighbor and another this evening when we came home from work at the same time.  I told them I was leaving and they seemed sad.  I'm still touched by their sincere wishes for a happy future for N and myself.

I wish I had made a bit more of an effort to get to know them all better.  I'll make more of an effort in my new neighborhood.
