I got two phone calls last night at midnight, from people I don’t talk to all that often, and I was pleasantly surprised that they would choose to call me at midnight on New Year’s Eve. That seems like a very friendly gesture to me. I was thinking how nice it was that they called me, and how good that felt, and it basicly cost nothing but a little time. I would like to make the world just a little better in an easy way, so I plan to call a couple people this week that I don’t often chat with, and just see how they’re doing. It’s a tiny kindness to be friendly (unless you’re a creep!) and it’s very rational to encourage a climate of kindness. Call somebody this week and be friendly!
Good bless us everyone in 2012, to paraphrase Tiny Tim. Happy New Year, everybody!
I guess you need to know who you are calling because there was an article in the paper after the holidays complaining about the very thing you are bragging about. This lady was really mad that someone called her that late and woke her up. So I’ll remember to call you next year after midnight and not her!
