Starting from this Monday, I send a cell-phone message to a friend of mine each day. This friend may be someone I have not contacted for a long time or anyone that crosses my mind on that day. I have sent three messages to three different people since Monday. The first reply I recieved was from my high school friend. She told me she was surprised to be thought of on such an ordinary day and that we should find some time to meet. I am satisfied with the second reply I got. That friend was thankful for my reminding him how long he has been occupied by all kinds of activities and forgot to slow down and spend time with friends. I never expected a little message to arouse such a reflection upon oneself.However refreshing this idea may seem, it is not easy to take the first step. To decide who to send message to takes time and to decide what is to be written on the message takes even longer time. The work needs to be patiently done, with a true heart. Seeing the friendships that were once mine truning away from me, I somtimes feel a sence of loss and alienation. Therefore, I resolved to keep those friends I cherish by sending them little messages, showing them that I still think of them and care about them no matter how far we are parted. And I know just how happy one would be if he or she gets a meesage from an old fellow some day, and I think that day would be a brighter day.
This is only the begining but I hope it will bring more smiles and cheerful hearts in the world.
