Baby Come Back... Any Kind of Fool Could See...

Random Acts of KindnessBaby Come Back... any kind of fool could see, there was something in everything about you!  Today, that Baby was me! 

I have been visibly absent from blogging on Active Rain for over a month.  Partly due to a very busy travel and business schedule, and partly due to a nasty flu.  I received a call today from a fellow Active Rainer, Jim Hale (Eugene, Oregon), who I have had the pleasure of exchanging many comments with over the past year.  Apparently, Jim noticed my absence and sent me a few emails inquiring where I've been.  Relentless for an answer, Jim decided to call me today to see how I'm doing.  How incredibly thoughtful!

Jim's call reminded me of the lyrics from an old Hall & Oates song, "Baby Come Back... any kind of fool could see, there is something in everything about you!"  I was very surprised to learn that someone would actually miss my silly blogs.  Jim's call also reminded me of how easy it is to go through our day, in a routine fashion, never giving much thought about thanking others for their random acts of kindness. 

So, here's a BIG thank-you to Jim Hale from Eugene, Oregon.  Baby I'm back!

Welcome back.  Now I'll have a wonderful song to play in my head the rest of the evening.

P.S. Your postlets do not show up well in the right hand column.

That really is nice.  I often notice when the regulars aren't posting, but I figure they are just getting on with their lives and giving AR a break.  But it certainly is a good feeling to know that you are missed.
