Attention please


Isn’t it amazing how important a little attention can be? 

I can be sitting here ready to devour a whole peach pie when suddenly a note from a friend lifts my spirits and instead of eating, I go for a forty-minute walk!

Who knows how many disasters have been averted by friends simply checking in on other friends?

In a world where families live hours apart and everyone is so busy they don’t know if they are coming or going, it isn’t like the old days when neighbors dropped in for tea unannounced.  So a simple text message can make a world of difference.

It is good to share life’s little tragedies and dramas with a sympathetic ear.  What seems unbearable can turn funny with the turn of a phrase.

All because of a little attention.
