A fine balance

Living in a flat building in Zürich city is usually what people refer to as "urban". Meaning you do not know your neighbours. You say "Grüezi" when you run into each other coming or going, but not more. I am very happy to say that in my new house that is not the case. Here we care about each other. But I admit, it's a fine balance. You cannot ring the door at the neighbours every day, thinking you are welcome. And I do not want to host an open house. But on the other hand, you do not want to appear distant. I think we all are finding our way in how to interact with each other. So far it seems to be working fine. We interact, we care and we meet. Have to say I love it. Just hoping it's not the "honeymoon phase". But what do I know, having never been married :)?
