"ting tong"

Moving to a new community recently and not having friendly faces around is bothering me a lot these days.. Kept thinking what would be the best way to introduce myself to my neighbors. May be make some cookies and take along with me... or may be invite them over for milk and cookies to my place. Or how about a barbeque and get to know some of the faces around. Or rather complement somebody on their lawn or plants outside their home and start having a small talk. I kept thinking I should go to gym, so that I meet some of the people around the community. However it was all thinking and no implementing. Well there could be thousands of ways to do this ice breaking session.. And i was lost among all of these for quite sometime now. It is so important to have a friendly neighbor than a distant close relative. Neighbors could be reached out first in case of emergency.

Finally the day came for some action. I had gone out and when I came back, decided to knock my neighbor's door. Ting Tong. And there she was. Just a 5 minutes conversation but was good to finally be able to break the ice.

Looking forward to making friends in the community!!! Hoping for the better.

Little Stickie on my Dashboard!

Well finally penning down the stuffs that I need to do this year. The list is growing and I don't want to lose track of anything, so thought it would be best to jot down these here. Last year had made a similar list but hardly managed to cross off few items from the list. So this year I want to be little more serious in putting a small tick marks along side these stuffs.

1. Get a full time job.
2. Enroll myself in some activity.
3. Make regular use of the lovely gym and pool of the community.
4. Do some volunteering.
5. Blog more often.
6. Get to know my neighbors.
7. Call my friends more often.
8. Paint my living room.
9. Plan a trip to India this year.
10. Get into reading routine again.
11. Convince my hubby for getting a pet!

Came across this article today. Worth giving a thought. This is a study by some British Psychologists and it makes sense to me. I think it is the depression that leads to the addiction of internet. What do you guys think?
