What a joy it is to receive unexpected surprises. One of our daughters who lives in France called this afternoon - 9:15 her time - just to say hello and say that she was well, missed us, and loved us. Emails are great. Snail mail is even better. But a phone call - that instant connection of mind and heart, the exchange of ideas, and the opportunity to enhance what is already a good relationship - that is truly a gift of joy.
When one has spoken to so many people over so many years about so many concerns, many of which have been negative, it is easy to take for granted these powerful connections. I have, at times, dreaded phone calls. These days, however, I relish them. "Call me, ya' hear?"
