Two Gifts

Two gifts, that is how our day went, two gifts we received from friends.  Not gifts in the traditional sense, but gifts of time, calls.  The first call came this afternoon from our friend Ann.  She is a fellow songwriter that we have know over 20 years.  She has helped us book gigs and make many new friends through the years.  She is effervescent, her personality and laugh makes you happy just to share space with her.

Our second call came from our friends Tom and Judy, there are health issues in their lives right now so for them to take time to call and talk with us made us glow with happiness.  We spent most of the conversation with them laughing.  That is the really nice thing about friendship, it is a thread that runs through your life.  You go for months without seeing or talking with each other, but it doesn't matter.
You just pick up where you left off.

The gift of time is the most valuable one.  Life goes fast. But the  moments count.  A call, a card, the connection is made, the gift delivered and there is joy and love between humans.  Tomorrow give a gift; a call, a hug, a smile, a kind word.  Free gifts, make someone's day.
