just do it !

 i started the day with a couple of hours at work and called home to see what karen wanted to do on our day off. after a breif discussion we decided that we'd head south to "amish country" and browse around in a great little country hardware store, that very well may have every item that you could ever want for your home. when i arrived home i could tell that karen was looking forward to going. before we left, we decided that we would call mark and kristyn to see if they were close to us, on their way back to their home in michigan. kristyn and mark along with connor and spencer had  been vacationing in hilton head last week. i placed a call to kristyn but  no answer. i thought that perhaps her phone was buried deep in the depths of her purse and that no one in the van had heard it ring. next i tried mark, but once again no answer. that did it ..... karen and i would make our way south to this unique little store. feeling a little disappointed that we weren't able to reach mark and kristyn we began to plan our afternoon. just as we were ready to leave the house my cell phone rang and our day was taking another direction.  mark had called to say that they were going to stop and so in just a short period of time we were once again laughing and listening to how much they had enjoyed their time with some close friends in hilton head. what a great gift they gave us as today as they took the time to stop by and share. mark and kristyn always take time for family and friends ..... life is to short not to. today take the time to call or  visit a friend or family member. you don't have to have a reason ...... just do it !!
