ToTaL BlOg FaIlUrE

I have really missed blogging!
I have no clue why I just randomly stopped! I guess I got to busy, or I felt like I couldn't really share things on here as in with pictures but realized today how much I truly MISS it!
I still read blogs of course but just have failed to well jump back in!
Oh well i guess I shouldn't feel like it has to be this way or that, it's my blog I should just blog about whatever :)

So here this will be my jump back in

Today I said out loud- I don't even know our neighbors, - I mean sure I wave hi but not much more than that, I don't really like that. I grew up in a neighborhood where everyone knew everyone. You could really go ask someone for eggs or sugar or flour, and I spent my summer nights as a kid safe playing and cutting through neighbors backyard to run home safe and happy.

I live alot closer in proximity to the people who I call neighbors now, with houses alot closer together in CA. Yet what is it here that makes people more distant, or is it just for safety and security?
I feel torn in this. I want to go out of my way to show Christ's love, and to be different even if it's just a smile or to lend a helping hand, yet I also want to be safe. This week we had some pretty odd things going on here in our neighborhood. Just turn on the news... and it makes you wonder who are your neighbors.., yet on the flip side oddly it makes me sad that I feel such a distance to people I live so close to.
Maybe life won't go back to being so simple ever but It just has me thinking :)
