You’re in town for a few days. Your schedule’s full of errands, appointments, and to-do lists. But maybe—just maybe—there’s time for something more meaningful.

Call the friend you haven’t seen in a while.

The one you used to meet for coffee. The one who always made you laugh. The one you’ve been meaning to catch up with, but life just keeps getting in the way.

Reaching Out Doesn’t Have to Be Complicated

You don’t need a perfect plan or a big event. Just a message:
“Hey, I’m in town—want to grab a coffee or go for a walk?”

Even if it’s short, even if it’s last minute—it’s worth it. You might not realize how much you both need that reconnection until you’re sitting across from each other, smiling about old memories, talking about life now, and realizing time hasn’t changed the bond.

Why It’s Good for the Soul

• Connection grounds us. In a busy, digital world, real conversation reminds us who we are.
• Laughter heals. A lighthearted moment can lift a heavy week.
• Shared stories matter. The people who knew you before “everything changed” are rare and worth holding onto.

Don’t Wait for the Perfect Time

It’s easy to say, “I’ll reach out next time.” But life moves fast. And friendships, like gardens, need tending. Even a single catch-up can remind you that you’re not alone on this journey.

So next time you’re in town—even if just for a little while—make the call.

A few minutes of connection can stay with you for months.
