That's all it takes.

A friend sent me a text last week. It was just three words.

"I miss you."

It changed my whole day. The way I felt about myself. The way I interacted with everyone else.

We talked for an hour yesterday and it was so much joy.

That's all it took. Three words.

I told her I'm stealing her text. I called a couple of friends today telling them the same thing. As Lewis Hyde wrote, the gift needs to be passed forward.
