I use “take care” almost always, to redefine a world where we care for everything and everyone earnestly, with attention and love, and to also note we are careless with life and death, when we are selfless or self-full.
I have been saying "Take care" to people (and other than people!) for as long as I can remember. Sometimes it has felt a little more habitual than genuine. Upon reflecting, maybe my tombstone will read Born: 1950
Just what I needed this morning... I have been thinking about "story" and "story-telling" as the good glue between us all.. needed now more than ever. And that phrase - Take Care. I use it so often and hadn't really thought about it... but this might well be what I mean. Thanks, Sherman.
You had me until " celebrate the shredded wheat squares that I ate for breakfast."
As if, somehow, " take care " was reduced to that primal need ( desire? ).
Do take care. In the fullest and widest possible meaning :)

TOOK CARE
Have you seen this? Outrageous on so many levels. Scary and infuriating.

Thank you for those words. I needed them this week. Lost a lifelong friend
Much gratitude for the healing power of words and those who write them.
My condolences, Julie. We are moving into our elder years and we are losing more and more friends and family. So much grief.
I had shredded wheat biscuits for breakfast this morning.
!!!!
Have to say I always say that at the end of a call
It's a good way to sign off.
I’ve enjoyed everything that I’ve read that you’ve written. Thankyou. Please take care.
Thank you, Maureen.
Yes, "take care" is one of my favorite farewells.
Thanks, David.
This worked with the pancakes and coffee in the trailer and quite well for reals. Thanks!
Pancakes sound great!

Thanks, Betsy. Your post got me thinking about the stories that bees tell to guide their hibe to good pollen sources!
will look at the grains in my buckwheat porridge with more love than usual today. Thank you for another beautiful moment
Thanks, Barb.
I’m sure there’s a name for this type of sentence
the edge of tender and tender of edge. I love this kind of writing.
That type of phrase is an antimetabole. Here's a definition:

Thank you for the piece.
It inspired me to take care and notice (and appreciate) the changing colors of the leaves outside my office window.
Thanks, Martin.
Oh wow. I really loved how you changed form midway here, it emphasized the latter half in a fun and engaging way. Bravo!
The form is a very loose version of a haibun. Thanks, Wil.
