Bissett Neighborhood Association’s lineup of speakers for our May, June and July meetings were all about ways we can make our diets more healthy, improve physical health and feel better about things by achieving better balance in our lives.
As of this writing at the end of May, the Bissett Sole Survivors, our neighborhood walking team, is in second place among neighborhood associations in the city-wide Move Your Shoes month-long walking challenge.
Being healthy can also mean being a contributing member of the neighborhood. Perhaps you haven’t met, or had the opportunity to get to know your neighbors yet. Folks can improve their street by getting to know their neighbors better and finding ways to help one another. We encourage all to visit with your neighbors, and come out to a BNA meeting or event to meet some more. Whether you’re a believer or not, to “love your neighbor as yourself” is a pretty good idea, and it’s hard to love someone you don’t know. After all, a neighbor isn’t a “unit” in the worldwide human collective; he is “someone” who we can befriend, help and respect.
