just being curious ... how do you greet your companions in the morning (or during the day), when you are busy and/or in a hurry

Like, if there is no time for relaxation or meditation or no time to call them name by name ...

When I am in a hurry in the morning, I just say "hi friends" or "hi my dears" and sometimes that's just about it ... I wonder if they notice this short general greeting right away and if they still would appreciate it

Might be a silly question, but I try to avoid to feel bad if I don't spend much time during the morning due to work etc. ...

When I wake up, I say a general "Good morning, spirit friends!" aimed at my entire posse.

Depending on who's day it is in terms of hanging out, and who I'm bonding with, I do my best to be more specific throughout the day. I devote at least one food offering to the spirits of the day (I share the food I eat rather than offering scraps or something because that feels better for me), calling them by name, and at least one other food offering for all the spirits in my keep.

At night, I like to say "Good night, [Name], I love you!" to each spirit, immortal, and Archangel I work with. Sometimes I don't get to everyone before I fall asleep and then I feel bad for leaving someone out, but ​I think they understand.

In the morning, I just greet them as I do my son and husband and get on with my day. I am not a morning person so I don't think they'd expect me to do anything other than that.

I'm finding more and more the truth of what others have said here: our bound spirits really appreciate being included and can respond really well. If I was rushing out like you say, I would say in a telepathic way (ie not thinking quietly to myself), something like "Good morning all. I'm really in a rush and haven't time to meditate (etc). Can you help me today with x,y,z...".

or "can you be with me today and help me with x,y z."
or "be with me today and listen to what I may ask for help with."

Whatever works for you. I think just asking for the help gives them an entry into working with us on whatever concerns us. And gives them satisfaction, as that is why they are with us.

If they are bridged to you, you can carry on the conversation on your way out.

I have a long commute (about 45-55 minutes) to work, so even if I don't get a chance to talk to them while I get ready, I always have that time and I use it to full effect typically.

However, if I don't feel like running down my list of 22 spirits to say good morning, I'll generally say "Good Morning my spirit family" or something similar. I feel like they all hear it, but then sometimes I'll start running down the list just because I feel guilty I didn't address them individually. LOL

Haha I do this when saying goodnight. I sometimes get the guilt feeling and run through them. I'm glad in not alone in this lol

Me too. Even that takes ages for me, with 110 bound spirits

That is one reason why I started this thread ...when and why to feel (NOT?) guilty during a busy morning/day/evening

In the evening or may be during the day if I have time I call their name but in the morning in 9 out of 10 times I don't call all names ... just saying "good morning my dears"

I guess at the end one's intention is more important than what words one would choose and how many times one would call every name of every spirit. I do have several spirits, but still not so many, since I am not a collector, but I guess as a collector one would have to handle this differently anyways.

For me, I just try to keep connection and still learn more everyday about how to commune with them during daily life.

When I get up I will say hello and good morning to everyone by name. I only have 9 Spirits in my Keep right now so that is easy LOL. I will also do the same thing in the evening as well when saying good night. I like to talk to everyone on my drive to work. Sadly I don't get a lot of quite time during the day due to work and when I am home I don't have too much me time unless my brother is working. So I usually will spend my last hour or two awake upstairs in my room talking to everyone. Sometimes life happens and I can't devote a lot of time at home but I know they understand.
