We posted an article, "10 Tips for Building Relationships in Your Retirement Community”(http://www.bestdatingsites.I don't believe I had ever given a thought to ways that you might build relationship in a new setting. I am the kind that walks out onto the street and just visits with who ever is handy. But, if I were wanting to build some solid connections with those people that lived close by I think it would take a lot more than that. I would need a list of 10 ways to connect with other people. If I were single and wanted to get to know someone to dance with or go see a movie, it might be up to me to let others know I was open to that kind of thing. Mary's website is for those people that are interested in dating.org/blog/2011/10-tips-for- building-relationships-in- your-retirement-community/), and I thought that you or your readers might find it interesting.
I had a couple of favorites within her list. The suggestion that we share our grandchildren by taking them out for a walk surely is a conversation starter. I also like the idea of giving holiday cards and delivering them by hand...a little gift of candy or cookies is always a good accompaniment. I would suggest that you wear an engraved name pin of some kind. I see that Amazon has a couple of different types.

| From Advanced Style...adding color to your life. |
Ari Cohen over at Advanced Style talked about a make-over one of his friends had received as a gift. The lady had been avoiding color in her life and was suffering from the blahs! I was thinking this morning how color is such a social thing. A bright color or even a gorgeous scarf invites conversation and comments. We might even think about how we dress when we are wanting to get to know our neighbors. Color is always a good thing!
I hope you are having a wonderful day.
