Changing your good morning

article image placeholderUploaded by @Michigan
Instead of saying that phrase, we could always say have a happy morning or have a happy day or let's have a happy moment. This way it catches everybody off guard and we're not thinking about the moment or the future. It's never granted to us. Granted, it may change the situation up that the people are in. Sometimes it doesn't

Hey, John. I love this. I was just having a swell discussion with somebody else this morning about the power of languages and words and how they're all spells and it all matters what we say. And the conversation I was having with the gentleman earlier today was about how sorry is a demeaning self statement to kind of put yourself down. So I saw this one pop up and obviously I wanted to chime in one because it's you

If I'm kind of trying to find the right words on this but I kind of know where you're coming from and in the morning I do understand and it's one that we can kind of keep kicking around. Let's see what else we can come up with. Or somebody else has another grand idea of an introduction to meeting or even leaving a conversation or meeting someone for the first time. But I haven't yet thought of a trail conversation greeting

So I think there's definitely a way we can greet each other that can mix it up, but also refrain from using the good aspect. But I also don't think that that projection in that initial moment is a bad thing, because in that moment, it's about us entering into that engagement and then it moves on from there. At least that's my two cent on it, or whatever it's worth

So on that note, I'd like to hear more from you or if you have any ideas ideas on backpacking, hiking or nature outdoors, that type of thing. Love to hear from you. Take care. Bye

Sorry. No, I didn't think that you were projecting onto anyone with your swell, but I had heard the conversation between you and Dabi, and there was talk of just simply saying good morning being the idea of projecting onto somebody else. This was what inspired some of the thoughts. And sorry, I don't have much to say on camping, hiking or anything along those lines, but thank you. I thank you for the swell. Thank you for the thoughts and for your response

If you got something in mind you want to talk about, nothing has to be about backpacking, hiking or anything else like that. We can do that. So nice to meet you and you. Have a great day. Take care. Bye
