I’m a big fan of sending a text message with a funny greeting picture and a kind note to say I’m thinking of them, or wishing them a happy holiday, etc. And ask how they are doing.

You don’t have to have a huge conversation, but every time you think of a distant friend, take 30 seconds to send a quick note. Why not!

> “Hey, just saw this cool ____ and thought of you. Hope you’re doing well! Send me your news!”

Something like this is always welcome.
