HIGH FIVE-ING

A gesture of celebrating the moment.

 You've been introduced and it's time for the ancient ritual, the handshake, but the standard handshake turns into a high five with a smile.



Since 2002, the third Thursday of April is recognized as National High Five Day, however, we celebrate it at most meet-ups.
This act of reaching your arm up high and slapping the palm has revolutionized the greeting and cheering on some miraculous achievement.
Perhaps, we have just done something ordinary.
Perhaps it spreads "good feelings".  It is a greeting requiring no words.
It is not simply a greeting but a way to help loved ones feel wanted and comforted.
It is a gesture of bonding and celebrating the present.
Greeting encourages and welcomes.  It communicates love and concern.
