What is in a greeting?

This morning I posted as a status update the following:

“How do you greet people? Good greetings set the stage for positive and healthy interaction. They can make people feel important and valued.”

The inspiration for that came from a book that I’m currently reading, The Love Dare.  For any married couple, this is a great book to remind you of the reason why you got married in the first place.


So what is in a greeting?  I started to take greetings for granted and was reminded just how important they can be.  You never know what kind of day someone is having or about to have when you first see them.  Why not begin the conversation on a positive note and see where it takes you.
