Treating your neighbors with kindness is crucial for fostering a sense of community and creating a harmonious living environment.
Even if you don't bring them soup when they are sick or install new shower heads for them, it doesn’t cost a thing to offer them a smile when you see each other outside or check in with one another.
In fact, it just might improve your overall health. A 2014 study out of Rutgers University found that being connected and interacting frequently with neighbors improves mental health and overall well-being, especially later in life.
Just an ounce of kindness can shape a supportive and friendly atmosphere within your neighborhood.
In a world plagued with war and illness, be a Mr. Bob and make a real impact!
