Yesterday afternoon I spent part of day going through my address book and calling people. People who might have been my clients once upon a time, but have become friends. People who I knew might be feeling a bit like me this Christmas... like something was missing from making it what it should be.
I called friends who had lost someone last year. And while my daughter was just at work instead of at home I was feeling a bit empty. So I counted my blessings that my daughter would be coming home again and started making calls. I didn't keep anyone on the phone very long, but just long enough to let them know I was thinking of them. For those who still are local I invited them to stop by the office for coffee and a visit too.
It wasn't much, but I'm thinking that if I were home alone on Christmas I would be happy if my phone rang. Make someone's day and give them a call just to say hi. Trust me, you'll feel better for making that phone call. It made time pass quickly and now my baby girl is home sleeping off the last 24 hours of work.
Plus I woke up this morning to a light dusting of snow. Wasn't a white Christmas... but close.
