There is nothing like hearing a voice out of the past and picking up a conversation where it left off 20 years ago! Yesterday at lunch I was pretty stressed, pretty beat up from the stress and missing my sister--my bride who was away. I was in dire need of a pick-me-up. I chose to work through lunch to get more done and yet, I needed the break both mentally and physically, just wasn't willing to allow myself the chance and then the phone rang.
A voice on the other end all the way from Texas was one I hadn't heard since the late 1980s when I was still in the Marines and somewhere between Hawaii and Korea. After nearly an hour of catching up with 20 years of our lives, I was rejuvinated, made fresh and ready for the long hours of work that lay ahead. Old friends who call you out of the blue make for a wonderful tonic. Thanks God, I needed that and you moved a heart to make them need to talk to me too. As always, perfect timing!
