If there is to be a drumbeat that we find consistently while on our journey, it comes in the form of a “hello and goodbye”. We meet someone, we find someone we know, we attend a class, a meeting, a workout and we start with a hello. We finish and we say goodbye. From the goodbye to the hello can span short and long timeframes and yet we know that goodbye does not mean forever. For when we say goodbye we carry away part of the spirit of each other. We learn to live with goodbyes and accept that there might be a bit of sadness with a goodbye but at the same time a goodbye sets us up for another hello, and that we can all look forward to and get excited that goodbye connects us to hello and all of the great feelings both bring

Loving life, yes, hello and goodbye
