The word community has many meanings but if we simplify, our community is made up of the people we come into contact with every day. Studies show that people that people that are involved in their community live healthier longer lives and have lower levels of stress. During the busy holidays it is even more important to take time to appreciate the people in our communities. This can be as simple as striking up a conversation with a neighbor, or making time to volunteer.
