"True friendship resists time, distance, and silence."
- Isabel Allende
There is a trivia game show on television, I cannot remember the name of it, however...one of the options to find answers you do not have, is to Phone A Friend.
Funny how I remember that detail and not the name of this popular entertainment piece.
We are good friends with our neighbors. They are some of the finer people you will ever meet. They have a busy schedule. Ours is getting busier. We barely even see each other in the driveway anymore. Recognizing that, we called them up and made dinner plans. We called them about a month ago, compared notes, and the best day for us is 2 weeks from now. You do what you have to do.
Opportunity Monday says spend some time with a friend. Send an email, write a letter, make a call or... even just a few moments of quiet time thinking about them and the value of that friendship.
Two things happen here. You make contact and that alone has many beneficial ripples for you both, and you also touch the value you appreciate about that relationship, and sharing a moment with that value, can possibly stay with you all day.
Life is busy. Focus on the truth of a Friend, and focus on your truth that you offer as a friend.
And now, enjoy the moment for who they are, and whom you are to them.
Laying the path for the week to come.
Have a wonderful Opportunity Monday.
