Life is all good

 

 

January 25th 2025

It is Saturday 10.30 in the morning on a cold day snow all around with 15 C below zero. I have to go to my friend's place to get together in the evening. It's about an hour away. Nothing else for the day. Just make a couple of calls to my daughters. I have to make some other calls too. I will not do that today.

Keep in mind that on weekends people have their own plans.They are busy with their own family things. It is not good to bother them.They won't appreciate our calls. Leave them alone to enjoy their time. We can call them some other time, some other day.

I believe calls are an important matter and timing of calls is critical. We can make or break our relationships, depending on the timings. First of all we have to check the day and time. 

On working days no one will like calls until late evenings. Keep in mind that we are not going to disturb them at their dinner time. People are with family, and won't appreciate calls at that time.

People of our age. I mean the people enjoying their retired period of life. They usually start their day a bit late. Some might not be able to have a good night's sleep. Some might be going through with some other issues. You never know.

Things start coming up at the later stages of life and we can not fight back as in our earlier days. Bodies are not strong. With an old machinery what you expect. Accept whatever is there with grace, dignity and patience.

Anyway, we don't have to call them early in the morning and also not too late in the evenings. Day time will suit them. They have enough time on their hands, and love to talk for longer periods.

I, while making calls, take the tone of the person at the other end as an integral factor to continue my call. Their tone determines how long they have time and are able to be with our call. Sometimes they have to leave. Sometimes people are not in a mood.

We humans are full of emotions, full of sentiments. We are not robots. Check the tone and try to read between the lines to figure out when to cut off your call. Don't have to leave abruptly. Ending and start, are the key for everything.

It is important while punching your words on paper and computer. It is critical with the words coming out from your mouth. You can not delete anything after.

We are talking to a Human not to a Robot. We have to consider the sentiments of the person on the other side to flourish our relationship. We are social animals. We need people, can't afford to lose any of them. Have a great day.
