"The questions that you ask determine your quality of life. Like, if you wake up and ask yourself 'why do I feel horrible today?' then you're gonna have a bad day. But if you ask yourself 'why is today such an awesome day?' then it'll be a great day." -a lady that goes to my church.

"Arnesians had a dozen ways to say hello, but no word for good-bye.
When it came to parting ways, they sometimes said vas ir, which meant in peace, but more often they chose to say anoshe - until another day.
Anoshe was a word for strangers in the street, and lovers between meetings, for parents and children, friends and family. It softened the blow of leaving. Eased the strain of parting. A careful nod to the certainty of today, to the mystery of tomorrow. When a friend left, with little chance of seeing home, they said anoshe. When a loved one was dying, they said anoshe. When corpses were burned, bodies given back to the earth and souls to the stream, those left grieving said anoshe.
Anoshe brought solace. And hope. And the strength to let go."

I like this.
A year ago, I made the switch from saying the word "bye" to my grandparents, friends, or parents, instead swapping it for "see you later". Because why leave it at goodbye.

[Delthion]

I use "Toodles".

[Ashleg]

Toodles? Forget that. Why use "toodles" when you can say "Adios, you big amigo."

[Delthion]

Because toodles is better. Period.

[Maudie]

Why, Del...why?

[Ashleg]

Toodles makes me picture a skin rash for some reason.

[Wylder Treejumper]

For profundity, I use "Vaya con Dios." Something I picked up from an old Hispanic tradition.

[Maudie]

Yeah. That translates to "Go with God" for those of you unfamiliar with Spanish.

[Ashleg]

"Tscüss!" is a German goodbye stemming from a mix of "ciao" and "adieu", I believe. It's pretty awesome.

[Delthion]

Or "Auf wiedersehen"

[Ashleg]

Yes of course, but the hip youngsters say Tschüss.

[Delthion]

(A.K.A. the ones who are not speaking to a stranger or an elder.)

[Ashleg]

My teacher and I are on "tschüss" terms with each other.
