Have a Good Day!

by Power User Jan K...Thx All on November 04, 2011

Hello Friend!

The other day I wandered up to the check-out counter of a local store with a few items in hand. A sullen teenager scanned them, took my payment and then muttered, "Have a good day." I looked up at him and smiled as I responded, "You too!" He shrugged his shoulders and said with a hint of cynicism in his voice, "I'll try."

As I walked away I thought about how his answer was more honest than most. It's true--having a good day doesn't come naturally to the majority of us. We tend to beat ourselves up about that fact but the reality is our brains simpler aren't wired to pop into "Pollyanna" mode the moment the alarm goes off.

Yes, Jan....I always try to have a nice day....and really I could have it as long as there's nothing to hinder. Thanks for this very good share.

jan i think the reality is when we say "have a good day" we only say it to those people who we want to have a good day ..if we don't say anything then that means we don't care whether not you die or alive
