Starting Midstory

Saying hello appears to be a tricky word for me to utter. I start my phone conversations mid-story. Most of my e-mails are without a greeting. I tend to wait until the other person says hello first and then I respond accordingly. My verbal stuck wheel in the mud also applies to my work day. Walking through the hallway without having to say hello to my employer relaxes my whole body. Hey let's not just stop at verbal greetings..there are days when having to put my hand up to acknowledge the Starbucks shift supervisor feels monumental. I have begun practicing saying hello first to the Starbucks "partners"..it is my safe place after all
