How do you greet the people you like? It may be with a bear hug, a loving smile, a warm handshake or a smattering of enthusiastic kisses. For some people it may be more restrained, depending on the circumstances, venue or time of day.
My 4 month old puppy goes berserk in her greetings, meeting us every morning with tail wagging ecstatically, back wiggling and twisting joyfully in her obvious unabashed delight to see us.
Gavin and his mate Smithy from the ‘Gavin and Stacey Show’ have a joyous, energetic greeting ritual that involves hip shaking, hand slapping, swivels and a rhythmical chant. This is carried out with such genuine enthusiasm that passers- by stand and smile.
What greetings will you use today? A saucy grin, a cheesy smile, a colourful ‘cooee’ with manic waving, or a supersonic hug that takes the breath away?
Ok, this last suggestion may be too much for the window cleaner, but who knows?
Let me know your favourite greeting, I would love to hear from you.
Sending joyous greetings to you and yours,
