Neighbourliness ~ what goes around comes around...

Posted 20 September 2015 ~ 

I needed a bit of a break today, so between sending letters to all the students on my works database list, I decided to go do some weeding outside on our front grassy verge as it's a beautiful cool day and the weeds coming up through the grass were already so out of hand... My neighbour and friends were busy with their garden on their side of the driveway, so it was good to say hello on the way out... I turned to get busy with my lawn and lo and behold, it's all neatly mowed and all the weeds were gone! I was so surprised! My neighbours had already mowed and weeded my lawn for me!  They laughed when they saw and heard my surprise!  So many times I have been out there and done what I could to help with their garden... when they were not there to see me doing it.  I didn’t even know if they realised it, but it gave me so much pleasure to do so... but today, they blessed me in return... I LOVE my neighbours so much!  They have helped me before... the husband with some handyman work and the wife has brought over the most delicious jams and other preserves for Andrew and I and we have done the same and shared some of our garden produce with them.  It’s so wonderful to be surrounded by goodness and kindness in this world and sure makes my world a better and much happier place.  

Special thanks to my neighbours for blessing me today with their kindness, even if they never see this ~ Pana
