Today's Thoughtful Thursday is short and sweet, both blog wise and thought wise. My intention wasn't for this week's thought to be short but unfortunately due to a lack of skype funds the thought only lasted 4 minutes. Boo!

Yesterday was a manic day at work which in all honestly seems to the norm these days, I say it's down to some awesome Ruby Orchard marketing and of course the silly season fast approaching! In addition to this I had a client project to work on in the evening, fold the washing, do the dishes and most importantly squeeze in a run. The day was busy enough and the to do list seemed to be endless but as soon as I got home I dropped everything logged into Skype and dialled a friend that I knew needed some cheering up!

This said friend has had one cray cray year and after all the craziness she decided last week to quit her job and pursue the life of a house wife. Sometimes you do just need a time out to reevaluate your life. Her days are now spent filled with with wifely chores, such as day 5 which consisted of, in her own words, 'sitting next to a schizophrenic on the bus searching the city for a fibre optic, pop up Christmas tree.' Hmmm very interesting!

Anyway our 4 minutes consisted of lots 'Oh Mys' and 'it's so nice to hear your voice' and 'wow thank you for phoning!' It made me smile from ear to ear and wish that we could have done it in person over a glass of wine but sadly the distance didn't allow.

Taking the time out from my busy day was so worth it!

Oh yes and my Thoughtful Thursday actually happened yesterday but I'm carrying it through to today because we have scheduled in a proper Skype date for this evening! Yay!
