Carpe diem -seize the day!

RosieandherMaw, your post has made me smile just when I needed it… thank you!

I make no apology for wishing everyone a good day, every day. Carpe diem and good day are innocuous and nice ways to end a post. Some of us are more upbeat than others and like to share the good energy. Would you like some OP. Do have a good day

Apologies, *RosieandherMaw”. Guilty as charged. I shall stop from this day on!

Don't stop it. I don't post that often but do enjoy reading what the regulars are doing.

As someone who reads the good morning thread daily, I believe Grandmattie has every right to sign off “Carpe diem”
This is clearly the motto that she follows in life and one to be admired

Blimey 😵‍💫 it’s come to something when a cheery ending to a message gives offence!
It wouldn’t cross my mind to object to how anyone signs off 🤷🏼‍♀️

Do not be deterred, Grandmattie.
I appreciate your greeting each morning.
And it is a useful reminder that each day is to be enjoyed and appreciated as much as we can.
Some things need to be said each day.
So that was Horace.
Now on to Voltaire. We defend your right to say what you think, Rosie etc.

The trouble is when sonething is said every day it loses it meaning because we can’t have a brilliant day every day so it becomes meaningless but we all do it one way or another
(Whenever I see ‘Carpe diem’ I just think of fish 🤣 but that’s my brain)
It certainly doesn’t offend me but it’s something to ignore
Same as telling a stranger ‘see you later’ when you know you ll probably never ever see them again

I m guilty of saying ‘have a good day’ to people just as a positive end to a conversation but you’re right Rosie it’s an unnecessary and not really meant it’s just a nicer way of ending a chat than saying a rather stark ‘goodbye’ or ‘make sure you trip over the step on the way out’

No don’t stop grandMattie! I’m sure I’m not the only one who loves your daily greeting. We aren’t all curmudgeons who take offence at everything! It reminds me of my daughter who jokingly says ‘seize the carp’!😄

Apologies, *RosieandherMaw”. Guilty as charged. I shall stop from this day on!

This reminds me of something I once read many years ago.

Customer enters a stationers' (that dates it!) and asks to try out a particular fountain pen.
He tests the nib by writing a few lines and announces that he will buy it.

Thank you, the assistant replies, will that be all, Mr. Diem?

I think Steve is a relative 👍🏻

Both those sayings can annoy me too Maw especially if said to me on a grumpy day!

I love Steve 😁
