When you think of the word “successful,” who’s the first person that comes to mind and why?
I brought home two scratch pads for Bobo and Sinclair. It contained catnip. They will not tear up the furniture for at least two days.

What makes a good neighbor?
There is no set recipe for a good neighbor. I’ve had all different types of neighbors in my lifetime and they come in all shapes and sizes.
My Part
Besides the normal day to day, being respectful and tidy is the bare minimum for a good neighbor.
I really believe you have to give your neighbor space. After that, you can be there when they need you. But certainly it’s great to go the extra mile and have conversations and even meals together.
It’s not going to happen in every case. Everybody is different and you have to respect that.
Communication
Communication among neighbors is critical. We’re all different and going through different experiences so when an issue comes up, It’s great to discuss it amongst neighbors. 
The CrowLady
In the last 20 years everywhere, I lived there has been a crow lady. Is that person on the block who feeds the crows. At first, I found it odd. But that is where our differences coming to play. I may find it odd that they feed the crows and they may find it odd that I go running every day.
Added Bonus
A great neighbor loves Halloween I’m not begging into Halloween so they can buy all the candy and entertain all the kids.
A great neighbor grows tomato plants better than I can. And she lets me pick him whenever I want.
Another great neighbor doesn’t care we have a fire in the yard, or our Book Club gets out of control.
And they can do the same.

Deep blue azure sky
backdrop of the perfect autumn day
leaves changing hue
October is perfect
a treasured time of year
considering the state of the world
I feel guilty for the spectacular
mood I am in
and that pisses me off

What could you try for the first time?
I’m reading a book that takes place in the wild West many years ago.The book portrays a land with few laws and one had to defend themselves with a firearm
The Divided States of Merica
It seems like the United States is headed back there again and deep down I think there are people who want it that way. Which begs the question, would I ever buy a gun to defend myself?
No I would Not.
But for the first time, I am accepting that we may be headed there.
It makes me sad.
