Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. - There is no friend like an old friend who has shared our morning days, no greeting like his welcome, no homage like his praise

Welcome to the Daily Quote – a podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I'm Andrew McGivern for December 9th.Today is Christmas Card Day. Write one. Mail it. Connect. Christmas cards have been around for centuries so go buy some, make them yourself or get the kids to do it. There is no better time to get your Christmas Cards ready than Christmas Card Day.Grab some family pictures, write another letter... I know, I know it was just Letter Writing Day the other day but it wouldn't hurt to let your family and friends know what is going on in your life and include it with your Christmas Card.Enough of that... lets dive into today's quote from Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. who once wrote:"There is no friend like an old friend who has shared our morning days, no greeting like his welcome, no homage like his praise."Holmes understood. Old friends matter. They saw you before. They know your story.A Christmas card to an old friend isn't just courtesy. It's remembering. It's saying: you still matter. We still matter.That greeting means everything.Today, write one card. To an old friend. Someone you miss. Someone who knew you when you were younger.Holmes was right. No greeting compares.So send it.That's going to do it for today. I'm Andrew McGivern signing off for now but I'll be back tomorrow. Same Pod time, same Pod Station - with another Daily Quote.
