Hello

Its been a busy day, I’ve barely had time to think.  The day flew by and I actually was able to leave a bit early.  It was snowing, as it has been for the last week, so the boss let us beat the traffic.

I pull into the driveway, and get out.  A kid, who seemed about twelve or thirteen, smiled at me and said, “Hello!”

I smiled and offered him the greeting in return.

I’m not sure how it is in other parts of the country, but hellos aren’t normally exchanged anymore.  I remember when I used to greet passersby and I was returned with funny looks.  So it was very refreshing and sincerely made me smile at the end of my day.

So, to all of you, hello.

Zel-kun out.
