This from someone who lives here at Heartwood Cohousing.
It occurred to me the other day just how much interaction I have with
my neighbors that I usually take for granted. Here is how my day
went. Could this happen in any other sort of neighborhood?
It was snowing-again.
Our car is no good in the snow and I needed to get to Durango.
I asked to borrow Ted and Martha's little four wheel drive car.
First I used it to take 2 of my kids and kids from 2 other families to
school.
While this went on Beth was taking Hugo to the high school for me and
Teresa was taking Al to the elementary school.
While I was in Durango I dropped off the cardboard recycling that was
in the back of the Pasternack's car.
After my time in Durango I picked up the same kids I took.
Beth brought Hugo home and Teresa brought Al home.
I headed over to the common house to help Sondra with the meal because
the other cook was sick. She already had help from Aurora and Sue so
I went home.
On the way home Aurora stopped me to give me some homemade soup
because I casually mentioned I didn't feel well.
I went home and ate that, felt better and then went to a fabulous
common meal that was cooked and cleaned up by more of my neighbors.
If you ask me the give and take that happened in that one typical day
is utterly amazing.
Thank you to everyone who lives here and contributes to my life
everyday in a thousand small but significant ways.
Love,
Sandy
