Your Calls can make or break relationships

It is Tuesday, cold cloudy morning with 11 C below zero. No rain
no snow, that is enough to celebrate, to enjoy, to have good time.
I don't go to my work on Tuesdays. No Darts, no Bowling at my 
library today. I have plans to spend my day. I have nothing to 
worry about.

It is my day to make calls, to connect with people. I have to call my 
cousin. She lives back home. I call her once a month. I have to call one 
of my friend. She lives in Markham, 20 minutes drive from my place, Pickering.

We spent our Uni days together. We were in same Faculty, did our Masters
in 1964. It was more than half a century back. I don't drive, neither she.
We make calls to keep connection alive.

I also have to call one of my childhood grade five friend. She lives in 
Central London, on Regent Street. When I go to England, to visit my 
daughters, I stay at her place for couple of days, to spend time together.

She is not well, nowadays facing some health issues. I call her once a week.
We have to give assurance, to the people facing their difficult moments, 
that we are there for them. They are not alone.

It gives them moral support, boost up their energy, to tackle the events in 
such moments. While making calls, we have to keep in mind, not to cross 
our limits. We have to respect their privacy. 

We never have to trespass their personal territory. Sometimes, people don't 
open up, so don't push for that. That will be embarrassing situation for 
them. We are calling to make them relaxed, not to add up their miseries.

I have to call my elder brother's wife. She lives in Aurora, 40 minutes 
drive from my place. I call her once a week, just to chit chat. 

Making calls, is a bilateral process. While it gives happiness to others, it 
gives us assurance too that we are not alone. There are people, we can get 
connected. I already posted couple of Blogs, sometimes back, where I talked 
about when to call and about the duration of our calls too.

We have to make sure that our calls are a welcome note for the person at 
the other end. We don't have to call strangers. They wont like that. There 
must be some relationship, to make calls.

Sometimes, we are related still timings are not good for them, or they are 
not in a mood to take calls, so note their tone. If you feel, you are not 
welcome at that moment. Just cut it out and wind up your conversation. 
Our calls can make or break the existing relationship, so be very careful.

It is 12.30, I am done with my calls, now getting ready to get out. It is 12.45, 
I am at Tim Horton, enjoying my time alone slot, my coffee and writing my 
Blog. It is 1.30, I am done, my son is here to pick me up. Talk to you later, 
my Friends, have a great day.
