In my previous blog I talked about how America has lost Mayberry.... How do we get back? It starts with each of us and the way we live our lives and interact with one another.
To get back to Mayberry we must first get to know one another. If you live in most towns or cities now that is not possible to know everyone. However you can get to know everyone on your street. Smile, Wave and Talk with your neighbors. Invite them over to roast marshmallows, take the time out to have positive interaction.
Help someone, stop and help someone broke down on the side of the road, mow a neighbors grass while they are on vacation etc.... The world is hard enough we could all use a little help from time to time. Be accepting to help and be ready to help when it is your turn!
Slow down, Blackberry's IPhone, and Droids all have made life connected but sometime we need to disconnect. This is one I struggle with personally I love my toys and connected life. But sometimes we can all put it down and walk away. Live life a little more simply and slow down. In the end this fast passed life will only get us in the grave faster.
Though these are not all of the ways we can get back to Mayberry it should would be a great start! I encourage everyone to slow down, help someone in need, and get to know your neighbors! You will find life will be a little bit brighter if you do! I know a wave makes my day!
Start with a small to medium size camping trailer.
Pull it out to a likely looking area.
Jam some poles in the ground.
Use a couple of tractors with loaders.
Raise it WAY UP (and fasten it!).
Drink a beer or two and step back to admire your work.
Build a deck (so you'll have a place to sit outside and drink another beer.
Build some nice stairs so you don't have to go down a ladder while inebriated.
Practice shooting deer with a piece of lumber.
Can't live on beer alone. Don't burn down the deck though...
