Let's Hope He Doesn't Check the Phone Bill

When was the last time you reached out and touched someone?

No, not like that. I mean, just called or wrote to an old friend, neighbor or relative with whom you used to share huge chunks of time. (And, no, just "friending" them on some social media site doesn't count.)

Recently, my husband found an old friend on Facebook. But, more than just adding him to a long list of "friends", they've actually spoken and made plans for our two families to meet this month.

So, it is in that spirit that my dear husband has gone and started a Movement of sorts, to see if other people might be interested in reconnecting with those long, lost souls of our past:

Beginning today, you are all invited to reconnect with a few old friends and family members. If you do it, write about it on your blog or Facebook page, or send me a postcard if you do not yet use the internet to broadcast your personal life to the masses. Let's spread the love. And, hope that not too many of us hear a phone slam in our ear when we cheerfully re-introduce ourselves.

Think of this as an active meme. C'mon, it'll give us something to write about this week.

You can even borrow the fancy button above. I'm generous like that.
