A Good Call

Texting is great for a quick message but nothing beats a phone call. I love FaceTime. Seeing and hearing from friends makes the world a kinder and more comforting place.  It’s easy to get caught in an endless cycle of busy. But maintaining and deepening relationships takes time and regular contact.

And I don’t mean virtual connection. I mean sharing secrets, confidences, questions, and other little intimacies that have no place in public forums. So I pick up the phone. It’s important.  Call your mother! Call your siblings. Call your friends. They want to hear from you.  And if they don’t, find a circle of adopted family and friends who do.  It will make their day and yours!
