Seeing the Light

Yesterday a very dear friend who I've not talked to in maybe 3 or 4 years called me, I wrote to her at Christmas confessing that I've been a depressed antisocial idiot and saying we should meet and that I would call.  Yet is was she that called me!  It was so good to speak we have a meeting set up now.  I wonder how long it would have taken me to make that call?  A day? A week? A year? Would another Christmas have gone by?
