Good Neighbors Assoc. in Connestee Taking Care of Me!
The skirmish that banged up my driver's side door and front fender last Sunday, had more effects than I expected it would.
Right after the crash, you are so stunned, that you are running around in a shock. Nothing hurts. But, wait a few hours, and then every thing hurts. I went to the doctor yesterday and all is okay. At first the pain was so severe, I could not find a comfortable sport to rest in bed. But, now, four days later I feel almost as good as new.
Something wonderful happened to ease my soul and spirits. Some of the Good Neighbors brought hot home-cooked meals for me for the past three days - - - and homemade brownies and fudge! These three women were people I had never met. But when they found out about the accident, they called me and said they would be bringing dinners over for three days. What a wonderful thing to do!
I shall certainly send them notes of appreciation. But, what's more, I intend to join the group to do my share to help others in times of distress.
These are the areas they cover:
Bereavement Ministry: This is a caring group of residents who are there for you at the hardest times.
Caring companions These caring companions provide a few hours of relief for those who are caring for a loved one who cannot be left alone.
Friendly caller They have developed a buddy system for those who live alone, and would like a daily phone call to make sure there is someone they can depend upon.
Meals Our good neighbors meal cookers are those wonderful folks who provide meals for residents who are sick, recovering from a trauma or are suffering family loss.
Transportation Good Neighbors Travelers are a group who get you where you want to go when illness or family difficultly prevent you from driving yourself.
Welcomers Visit newcomers, to make them feel welcome. ---------------------------------------------- I don't feel alone - I feel blessed.
