Picking up that 200 lbs phone. :)
Just as the ivy that grows on a windowsill requires water and light, our friendships need care and nourishment. We might wish that a good friend would be there whenever we wanted. But we get so busy scrambling to cover all the bases in our lives that we lose touch with friends, even with our partner. We neglect even to ask, "How are you doing?" "How am I doing?"
In spite of our busyness, the time we take for a brief telephone call can make us feel more relaxed and less busy. These seemingly small attentions are important to friendships and instill the spirit of human warmth and care into our lives. It reminds us again of what gives us meaning and opens us up to the affectionate feelings in our partnership.
Call a friend you have not seen for a while just to renew your connection.

Thanks for your post! I think I definitely need a reminder sometimes. Partly cause I think my friends would feel bothered if I called, texted, wrote them without any other reason than asking how they are.

ha! I read your post this morning and it encouraged me to finally pick up the phone and call a woman i met ten days ago when we were both volunteering. we had exchanged numbers with the best of enthusiastic intentions.......and then i'd put off calling, and put it off more, and then it seemed ridiculous, and then......i read the post and dug out the number and called.
number is out of service!
thanks for putting the little push out there.
great idea, no matter what the result.
