One day I kept thinking about a certain person and that person would not get out of my mind. I called that person and knew after only a few sentences that the person needed to hear from a friend right then. I was glad I had called.
I had a bad feeling, a very bad feeling about a family member. That family member was in a bad way. I found that out later. But I never did anything about that bad feeling. Next time I'll try to remember to.
I had a strong feeling to contact a neighbor. I couldn't stop thinking about it all day. I never did it. I ignored it. Later I found out that I should have. That neighbor really needed to have someone care. I wish I had shown that I do.
Today I was low and a person emailed me from out of the blue and asked me about some things they wondered about in my life. The things they wondered about were the things I needed to hear about on this day. I raised up in my seat with joy; a joy that only a "nudge" that is recognized and acted on can bring about.
I agree we get nudges taps on the shoulders and we don't always listen to them but when we do were glad we did they are a gift.
Thanks for this Hugs Angela

That's what real friends do and you know very well how to be a "real" friend.
This is so moving Lynn. I also agree with Kathy, we all get those special little feelings from time to time we feel the need to do something about!

Lynn,
You are a sensitive and gifted writer. A winning combination. I believe that we all get those "nudges". Some of us act on them and some don't. Acting on those nudges usually is a blessing because there is no greater feeling than helping a friend.
