I think I have made it more than clear that I hate making phone calls. I put it off until the last minute in my personal life and even at work. I just hate picking up the phone. However, over the last few months, I've tried to do it more and I've truly enjoyed the results. I've had conversations about everything - life, love, astrology, purchasing a home. Nothing makes me feel better than spending an hour or so catching up with my girls, both near and far. It may take a couple of days or weeks to get in touch but each time I hear their voice I'm reminded of our wonderful friendship. So despite not reaching my weekly goal, I'm so glad I made picking up the phone a priority. I only hope to get better at it.
“A friendship can weather most things and thrive in thin soil; but it needs a little mulch of letters and phone calls and small, silly presents every so often - just to save it from drying out completely.”

I totally feel you on this.. while it would be a shock to most people I know cause I am known to run my mouth for hours at a time on the phone.. I have a few people i talk to all of the time and anyoen else. it takes a HUGE build up of "Kamaria, just pick up the damn phone.. you are being ridiculous..." to answer the phone or return a call (which I think is even harder) But I always end up feeling the way you do.. that it was worth it.. and when I think that it is a blessing that there are people who choose to talk to me.. it makes me more determined to get over it.
