Have
a Nice Day!
Hello
again… I hope you are well and that
things are going in a way that you want them to.
I
could also say that I hope you are “having a nice day” and put that quintessential
Americanism into action. Remember how
very popular that was a few years ago?
Back in the day I used to have a little cynicism about it but at the
same time I came to see it as a reminder to do just that, to make my day a good
one!
One
year friends visiting from the UK commented to me that in most of their transactions
with store clerks and restaurant workers they were regularly reminded to “have
a nice day” and they thought it was sweet and kind; a quaint novelty that was
part of being in America. I don’t
believe that other cultures have this particular “add-on” in their banter.
“Have
a nice day” is an invitation to set an intention to make something happen that
is positive. It is remarkable how much sway we can actually have.
So,
please, be my guest and have a nice day!
