Glenn's Weekly Motivational-Hello And Goodbye!

Glenn
Glenn Anderson (Audacy Radio)

This time of year is filled with two words...

Hello and goodbye.


Hello songs:

Hello by Lionel Richie..released February 1984

Hello by Adele..released October 2015

The Beatles one doesn't support my point...

Goodbye songs:

Lewis Capaldi Before You Go 2019

Sam Smith Too Good at Goodbyes 2017

Luke Combs Even Though I'm Leaving 2019

NSYNC-Bye Bye Bye 2001

and about 1,234,980 others.

When you say hi, you are embarking on a journey not yet recognized, seeing someone and connecting,...excited for what's to come.

Goodbye means the end..period.

As a society, we are obsessed with goodbyes. Look over your social feed right now. Mine is filled with goodbyes. Kids going back to school, heading off to college, friends and family passing away.

Music, tv shows, and life itself concentrate on the last one, because goodbyes sell faster than a bagel at Cleveland Bagel Company.

You don't need any more goodbyes..You need hellos. You also need more bagels..and schmear.. they are everything..and I'm not just talking about the seasoning.

Since we're in the season of kids going back to school, how about you reframe it instead of waving goodbye at the bus stop?

Say hello to a new school year..Hello to new beginnings..Hello to new friends and experiences for both you and your children. Hello to the new you, a work in progress 24/7.

And sure, you can say a quick goodbye to what you don't need anymore..Pray for strength. Pray for a clear head. Pray for others who don't have a relationship with God..because you have bigger things to accomplish..

You have two choices.. Hello or goodbye.

I cry every first day of school. My kids are growing up and needing me less and less. Seeing their faces, hugging them before they get on the bus. But it's not goodbye.

Hello my loves, to using your mind and problem-solving.

Goodbye to tablet time and being bored with every creature comfort known to man surrounding you.

And hello to YOUR self care... and rediscovering your Planet Fitness membership.

And goodbye to 93 streaming services because it was supposed to be cheaper cutting the cord.

All my best as you navigate life and the relationships in it.

And all my best for a happy and healthy school year!

XOXO Glenn
