		<description><![CDATA[Good food for thought.  It&#039;s chilling to realize how few, true friends we collect.  For the past several years I have kept a pile of greeting cards near my desk and have used them to drop quick notes to people as they enter my mind.  Nothing to ask for, nothing to sell, just something to have in their mailbox.  I&#039;ve found that reaching out to (what I thought were) friends often results in an inquiry that goes off into oblivion -- calls not returned, cards w/ no response, etc.  
True, people are very busy these days.  These simple acts of reaching out, done on a routine basis, is a great way to set your own mind straight on which camp people are really in and who you could count on, should the need arise.]]></description>
