The Kindness of Calling to Say "Hi"

"It's important to slow down, every now and then, for no other reason than to call someone to say 'Hi.'  It doesn't have to be a long conversation.  Just calling out of the blue does more to let someone know you still care about them than nearly anything else."
~ Simon Sinek

The other day, a friend called me from the airport.  Although he travels, he calls me from all kinds of places to see how I am doing.  I appreciate his check-ins -- as well as his ability to make me laugh no matter what -- more than he can imagine.
