Good Morning...

So my new catch phrase over the last year is "Good Morning". "Good Morning" in the morning, in the early afternoon, when I come home from work, at 2am when greeting someone after a night out... "Good Morning" all the time.

There's a reason and a root for using "Good Morning" as my main greeting, no matter what time of the day it is. It was one morning at work, funny enough, at the water cooler... giving a canned greeting to my co-worker, he stops and says...

"Good morning... you look like you just woke up..."

And my blank face and sarcastic response...

"yeah for the first time in 27 years..."

Which of course, broke some ice resulting in a giggle and a knowing smile from the two of us just before we walked back to our cubes. And though I was proud of my comeback despite high levels of exhaustion, I actually took a second to meditate on what that could mean...

So now you know, what I secretly mean when I say "Good Morning" is that it's the potential beginning of a new day and a new start, and you can have that at any time of the day... any time you want it.
