When was the last time you spoke with your best friend from high school, college, grade school? That person - or persons - with whom you shared the trials and tribulations of youth . . . laughed, cried, 
learned, and grew together. You know the one - that gal or guy with whom you shared secrets over junk food - Doritos, M&M's and Taco Bell. When was the last time you reached out to that treasured friend? In this day an age it's easy to be 'Overtaken By The Events Of Life' - each day passes so quickly, each day so chock full of daily activities. Seems like life speeds up but never slows down much anymore, which makes it easy to lose touch with our roots, our values, our dearest friends, our treasured family members - all the things that matter most in life.
Why not reach out tomorrow? Instead of shooting a quick E-Mail to say 'hello' - why not go the 'old fashioned' route and actually write a letter - and include a funny card that would remind your dear friend of the many good times you've shared together? It just might make that friend's day.
In 2008, my personal resolution is to show my gratitude for all my many blessings by 'giving back'. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I'm offering reminders - to you and to me - about ways that each one of us can give back via PreMeditated Acts Of Kindness. Rather than being random - let's give it some thought. Let's be conscious about our choices, about the way that we treat others, about the way we love those with whom we share our days.
With that in mind - why not send your own PreMeditated Act of Kindness, An Early Valentine - drop a dear old friend a handwritten letter and a card. Maybe it will lead to a joyous reunion. Who knows . . . until you 'give it a go'!
