The Kindness of Calling

"Sometimes we should express our gratitude for the small and simple things like the scent of the rain, the taste of your favorite food, or the sound of a loved one's voice."
~ Joseph B. Wirthlin

My friend who moved to the other side of the world recently texted me to ask if I was available to talk.  "Yes!" I immediately answered.  Even though it was very early on her side of the globe, she was up and had some time to talk.  So talk we did -- about how she and her family were adjusting, about what we were doing...  I was so happy just to hear her voice.  I told her that I wished I could just twitch my nose the way the Elizabeth Montgomery character used to do on Bewitched and be at her house.  But hearing her voice was the next best thing.
