I had JUST commented on Jordan’s blog entry that her day off spent on the phone with various friends and family while sunning by the pool is NOT a waste of time (despite her father’s criticism that she should’ve been more productive), because I feel that “…it’s very important to catch up on your correspondences on your day off. I think in the larger picture, it’s more important than running an errand here and there, because when you lose people, it hurts like it’d never hurt if you skipped an errand. ” After having wrote that, I felt a twinge of guilt for not taking my own advice and catch up with friends I hadn’t touched base with in awhile.
And then I stumbled across my horoscope for today:
You are nothing if not family-oriented. Whether it’s your biological family or a self-made family of friends, you care deeply about your circle. There’s nothing you wouldn’t do for them, and they know it. It gives them a real feeling of security to know how much they mean to you. And vice versa. So check in with a couple of your nearest and dearest. Ask them how the heck they are, anyway. You’ll all be glad you had a chance to talk!
Exactly why I did it! If I had listened to my father, I’d be a doctor in Columbus, Ohio by now… so instead I disappointed him with this being a nurse stuff!!
I love taking a few hours once in awhile and calling practically everyone on my cell phone list… if only to say HELLO! to a voice mail. 🙂
I’m sure your friends appreciate it. 🙂 I like it when you drop me a line on here!
