I missed a phone call from a friend this morning. My first reaction when I saw the missed call was, “I wonder if everything is okay?”. When I listened to the message a tear fell down my cheek. She was calling to check in on me and wish me a Merry Christmas. She ended the message with “love your girl.”

I started thinking, in this age of technology it’s so easy for us to communicate via texts or send a message on Facebook, Twitter or other social media outlets. We never pick up the phone, this gesture was so simple and yet it has had a profound impact on me. This phone call has been one of the best gifts I have received this Christmas.

So, if you have time this Christmas Eve and are thinking of sending a text message to a family member or friend why not make a phone call. You never know what impact you will have on them.

If you see a missed call on your phone from me… everything is okay. I just called to wish you a Merry Christmas and tell you how much you mean to me.

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!

Cheers,

Chica
