Mindfulness Daily Check-In February 17, 2020
Hi everyone in the Mindfulness community. Hope you are all well. 
Getting more happiness into life
Think about someone you care about who you haven't spoken to in a while. Reach out and call them to see what they are up to and how their life is going. Keeping up with old friends can keep you happy throughout your life.
If you do not have anyone to call, is there a place like for example a small town shop where you haven't been for a while and you could go and ask the cashier or whom you know how they are doing?

I just called my dad to see how he was doing, Before I even came across this post. It was a good phone call, Much needed on both ends.
I hope you have a good day.
@Goldcherry2113
That's nice! Guess he was happy to hear your voice 
@amiablePeace77
Hello there! Thanks for the check-in!
Not much I can think of, I have this old friend we were really close and I haven't heard from them in a while so I think I'll call them to see how they're doing. I'm nervous to hear their response 
@parisayano
I guess your old friend will be very happy to hear your voice again.
@amiablePeace77
Thanks for the response! They're were very excited and also shocked but overall it was a good conversation :)
@amiablePeace77
Ami thank you for this reminder. As sometimes we forget about thoe that were positive, loving and caring towards us. I am in a bit going to call a family member and see how they doing.
@RumpleSteeleSkin
Nice Rumple and true. A simple phone call, a simple "Hello, how are you" can make a great difference in someone's day.
@amiablePeace77 at exercise class I have been reaching out to more people and that has been nice because people usually brighten up when someone reaches out to them.
@soulsings
Soul, you care a lot, I can see that here on the site and people whether here or irl will appreciate you reaching out to them, even if some might not show it.
That's a good idea. There are a couple people that have been coming to mind lately, but I don't even know how I would reach out. It's been so long. I feel it would be embarrassing.
@persistentartprenuer
I hear you. Sometimes something like "Hey, I just saw your photo in my album" (just an example) can make it easier for both because they might feel "guilty" too for not having called.
@amiablePeace77
Agreed. (。・ω・。)
It's so important to check in with people we care about.
It doesn't have to be a big deal. Just: "Hi! I was thinking about you!" can make someone's day amazing - or even save their life.
You never know what's going to happen.
Say the things you want to say now.
Love & Love & All
@wontwakewontsleep
You are so right - "Say the things you want to say now" because it can't be a better time.
I text random people from my past daily.
Not only does it help people I know, but it helps me in many ways.
They become part of my support group, when I make it clear that I am willing to be part of theirs.
The whisper of happiness a tiny text message brings them fills me with a moment of endless joy.
These people then sometimes text me randomly, which also makes me feel thought of and wanted in the world.
It's a great back-and-forth.
I have friends who I only send an emoji to, once every other week. It brightens their day when they see it.
I have friends who have asked me to send them one photo of a cute thing a month. It works for them.
You don't have to be regular about it, but little messages really mean a LOT.
@wontwakewontsleep
I get you, I too send small messages or just emoji and it feels soooooooo good to see someone replying even if it's just a smiley
I'm definitely overdue to call my Oma ♥️
@betterchoices
Seems it's a good time to do it now? I could imagine that it will lighten her whole day.
@amiablePeace77 I did it and she was very happy!!
@betterchoices
Nice betterchoices, you made her day special
