Not “What’s for breakfast?” or “I’m late, gotta go.” Just “Good morning.”
In Paris this past week, I thought of my grandfather as I noticed how the French say “bonjour” and, later in the day, “bonsoir” at the start of every conversation. Such niceties are not part of our mainstream culture here in America–but shouldn’t they be? Is there an easier way to orient yourself toward a positive, open day than to initiate contact with other human beings with a wish for goodness?
So – bonjour, buenos dias, bon giorno, boker tov….good morning!

It seems a lot of these things–not just saying “good morning”–are going by the wayside. Here in North America we have come a long way in the last fifty or so years (major advancements in science, etc.), but in some ways we’ve failed big-time, and this is one of them. I fear for what we’ve become as a society.
