After Thought

So, I lied a bit. I did have something this morning to blog about, but I couldn't quite figure out how to write it out, and I mulled it over all day and I came to something. You got homework kids. That's right I am giving YOU a homework assignment.

I want you readers to talk to talk with your significant others, or call your parents, a friend you haven't talked to in a while or someone you really care about and tell them how much you really do. Maybe its just calling someone and letting them know that even though you haven't talked for a while, you're thinking about them, hope they are well and just wanted to see what was up. Call your parents and ask them how their weekend was and when you hang up the phone tell them that you ACTUALLY care about them. Email a friend of yours and tell them a few things that makes them special to you. Or guys, take your girlfriend out for dinner, like a real date like what you used to when you first started dating. If you're a bit cheap for that then make them dinner, or buy them some flowers just because. Its not valentines day, or someones birthday, or Christmas. You're not in trouble, in the doghouse, and their wasn't a death in the family and it shouldn't have to be like that to make someone feel special. Oh and girls you can feel free to take your man out too, or get him some roses. I bet he would really like you thinking about him too :)


The point is everyone is involved with a lot of people in their lives, coworkers, teachers,  many acquaintances, and it almost seems that we never take enough time to actually stop and let those people that we really care about know how much they mean to us. The best part of it is, you won't get anything immediate in return for just telling someone you care, and you might never get anything in return, but I guarantee it will make them feel good, and let them have a good day. Its the booze, the TV, the Internet, the texting, the Facebook the drugs, that are all taking away from our ability to reach out and really communicate with each other, and communicating with the people you really care about is a skill better kept strong. There are just some things in this life that are worth holding on to, you just have to decide the best way of doing it.
