communication, nothing says personal better than the human voice (save a visit in person, of course!). It made me realize how important it is to pick up the phone. It's not enough to think of someone. (How will they know you're thinking of them?) It's not enough to poke them or text them. (Frequently, tone and intonation-feelings--are ambiguous.) Sometime the old fashion phone call can go a long way. Thanks for the kind gesture and reminder.Tuesday, June 8, 2010
A Random Phone Call
This evening Mary received a random phone call from a friend at our parish. The two had been in touch some time ago. However, as they're both in the last weeks of pregnancy, busy mothering and schooling children, and not geographically close, they had fallen out of touch. Anyhow, this lady called out-of-the-blue just to say hello and check in. What a thoughtful gesture! In this world of electric communication, nothing says personal better than the human voice (save a visit in person, of course!). It made me realize how important it is to pick up the phone. It's not enough to think of someone. (How will they know you're thinking of them?) It's not enough to poke them or text them. (Frequently, tone and intonation-feelings--are ambiguous.) Sometime the old fashion phone call can go a long way. Thanks for the kind gesture and reminder.
