Over the past few months I have been thinking about a friend/colleague I worked with for a long time. We had lost touch with one another due to the all of the reasons one stops from communicating…busy lives. Yet, I hadn’t forgotten her. In fact I probably thought about her more than she imagined.
So, knowing she is an early riser, I called her one morning last week and was greeted with that great voice of hers once again. Our conversation started where we left over long ago. There was the same amount of energy as before, the same laughter, sharing of trying times…just two good friends reuniting. She, too, mentioned how often I entered her mind and how much she has missed me.
After I hung up I realized that call would be one of the best holiday gifts I could give AND receive this year.
Before the month runs out I encourage you to do the same. Think of someone that made your life brighter, was there when you needed them, and for one reason or another has dropped out of sight.
Give them a call. Not an email nor a text. A phone call.
Make this holiday season one that you give and receive with that special someone that did and still does make a difference in your life.
This one’s for you Missy!
