Southern Oregon Living: Baby Come Back... Any Kind of Fool Could See...

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 is me! 

I've 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 surprised 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 routine fashion, never giving much thought about thanking others for their random acts of kindness. 

Here's a shout out to Jim Hale from Eugene, Oregon.  Thank-you!

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.
