February is known as the “month of love” and this month has a sweet significance to the City of West Park. Ask yourself the simple yet profound question, “Are you a good neighbor?”
Our city really needs good, even great neighbors! Some of the issues that our community is facing would be eliminated or drastically reduced if we could just become a community of people who are good neighbors.
But, in order to be good neighbors, we must love our neighbors as we love ourselves. When we love our neighbor as our self and look to their needs as they arise, there is no vacuum created in which confusion can easily intrude, resentment builds, and crime becomes an attractive way of life.
Music too loud! Putting bulk trash out on the wrong day! Dogs barking consistently!
Speeding through the city! If something your neighbor does is bothering you, remember that you’ll probably be neighbors for a long time. Resolving the problem amicably may be
more important than getting your way completely, because neighborhood feuds are no
fun. So, talk to your neighbor about the problem and try to work it out.
The month of February reminds us to celebrate our neighbors, our friends and our loved ones by telling them how much they mean to us. It’s important to remember to spend some time with your loved ones. Say a kind word to your neighbor, or to someone who looks up to you, because that little person will soon grow up and leave your side. Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure
you can give with your heart and it doesn’t cost a cent.
Remember, life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. Enjoy the simple things – you deserve it. Be a good and great neighbor! Love your neighbors as you love yourself! Spread the love West Park!
