In dog, “Woof” is proper for hello. Or a lick to the face. Give or take. <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

First, Harper says hello. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can I have a post about \u201chello\u201d if Harper doesn\u2019t say it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alas, from that photo \u2026 I change directions a little. Hello is such a simple word. Over the past several months, I\u2019ve made it a point to say hi or hello to somebody as I walk by them. Usually it\u2019s when I\u2019m out walking Harper. So many people, me included, have stopped doing this in life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet, it\u2019s such a simple act of friendliness. <\/p>\n\n\n

I have found that many people won\u2019t say it back. They keep their heads down and keep moving. That\u2019s fine and totally their prerogative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like doing it, though, as maybe it makes somebody smile or puts them into a situation to take a deep breath and know people do notice you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But maybe you want to throw a wrench into things. If that\u2019s the case, maybe say hello to somebody in a different language. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
