That makes sense, Dolly. I just thought it was an interesting self observation that I wasn’t waving as much as I used to. Is society changing that?

I wonder if more wave in the friendly south than say NYC? City vs country? 20th century vs 221 century? My imagination is going wild – maybe this gesture will fade away all together some day. YIKES that’s a scary thought.

I think you are right about the big city vs rural areas for waving. Also a change in society as a whole too affecting it. Waving can be such a warm greeting too and one I do want to do more of, of course in the safest manner.

So glad to see Danny is finally home. Now still lots of prayers for a healthy recovery and for you to find some rest and self care too.!!

Ha! I wave at my neighbors but I may be more reserved with someone I don’t know.

I will be more conscious this week of my waving! In Alabama, almost everyone is a waver, so you learn to do it without even thinking (which may defeat its purpose!). ha.

Perhaps even my military experience has taught me to be less friendly. I remember times when a honk meant a friendly “hello” more often than it meant “get out of my way.” Once when I was riding with my sister through the country, I noticed she waved to every car that passed. When I asked her why she always waved, her answer was much the same “just being friendly.” Thanks for this reminder that waving is a good thing. 🙂

This made me ponder the kind of waver I am – I think I’m more spontaneous than not, but I will certainly note my behavior in the future.
Blessings, Jean, and thanks for the ongoing prayers!
