Something inspirational:

Does someone ever come into your mind that you haven’t spoken to that you’ve been meaning to ring? It could be an old-school friend, an elderly relative. Just imagine the surprise and pleasure of the response you may get back. That spontaneous call you make, may make someone's day.

  1. That's a great thing to do I think! Everyone is always so busy these days, that when a thought of someone comes along we don't usually do much about it. But I'm sure that it would make their day to know that someone is thinking of them!

    1. Larissa, thanks for your response. Yes I'm sure it would make someone's day to make a call, just to say hi. You're right, we may think about doing it, but something else always crops up.

      Or we're emotionally struggling ourselves, or we may just have an issue with that person and we've not told them.

  2. I don't do it very often, but I call a lady I used to work with. We are still friends after 11 years. She gives me a lift when I am down which is always nice.

    1. Randy, that's what friendships are all about. Help and support where it's needed. I'm sure you would do the same for your friend.
