………..”less thumb to thumb, more face to face”………..
It’s something my pastor said a few weeks ago at church, and it really stuck with me.
Then Emily wrote this post, and I immediately called my girlfriend that I haven’t seen since this past fall, who literally lives down the street, and invited her over for coffee this morning.
My house isn’t perfectly clean and the good Lord knows I’m in the middle of two house projects that have things looking a little displaced. I’m hoping she’ll be too distracted by my coffee station to notice the chaos all around.
I’ll probably be wearing work out clothes with little to no makeup on, with my hair in some kind of pony tail messy bun look. But who cares? She certainly won’t. It’ll be so good to see her face and hug her around the neck. We text, we talk on the phone, but we don’t physically see each other often enough. And how sad, especially since as I mentioned already, she lives right down the street……like just a few houses down!
I think I’m going to make this “less thumb to thumb, more face to face” my motto for the year.
Yes, I know it’s already March, but it’s never too late to be resolute about something right? I want to spend more actual face time with the people that mean the world to me. Over the past couple of weeks I’ve realized just how short life really is and how important relationships are to my well being.
Happiest of Wednesdays friends,
