Me again folks, this post is a thinker but I've found that this time of year everyone is hustling and bustling trying to get the last of their shopping done and all we need to do is slow down for a minute and make a phone call. What a lot of people forget to do is make a simple phone call and believe it or not they don't take much time and usually makes both people feel very good inside. Now I'm not talking about someone you call everyday pick someone, grandma, grandpa, mom, dad, brother, sister your best friend from years ago. You will be able to tell how they light up at the sound of your voice. Some people only call family during the holidays, or they only keep in touch with old friends once or twice a year make a pact to call more often. Memories are the most treasured gift you can give someone especially older folks. I used to call my grandpa all the time, he always wanted to know the fishing and hunting reports at the time he was in his eighties and he loved to get my calls, he would call my folks and tell them that he heard from me, he would stop his mailman and tell him my stories so I know my phone calls made his day and it made me feel great also. I call my folks quite often to talk and find out how things are going. See my family lives in Minnesota and I live in Virginia so trips home are few and far between. Grandpa's gone now he made it to 100 and I hope some of my stories helped him to make it that far, I still have all the good memories from those calls. Remember no one knows when there life clock will run out so make those memories now while you can, call mom or dad or your grandparents even if it's just to say I love you and miss you and I was thinking about you today. MEMORIES LAST A LIFE TIME and that's what makes them the most Treasured gift of all. Start making yours today.
Happy holidays everyone
