How are you today??

I figured that we tend to forget to ask.

we tend to believe no one cares, but then neglect asking this simple question.

but now what if it wasn't so simple? what if it wasn't your work colleague that passed you in the corridor? what if it wasn't your cousins best friend in the supermarket? what if it wasn't your social worker? or a stranger just saying how are you?

what if someone built this bridge for you and held out their hand - if only for one second and then really asked... 'how are you feeling today?'

and then walked away smiling, knowing that they had just taken you somewhere else.

so I am wondering on this day. how are you

TrB22 - what is the surgery? I have had 3 operations in my life. None of them I was excited about! but all of them I was nervous with.

Thank you for asking. Often people ask this question and they really don't want to know. They really want to hear "fine", "great" etc. Today I am feeling alright. My biggest complaint is back pain but it is nothing aside from the usual.

i feel a little upset right now... because of some attitudes in another community in which i have been posting... there may be ways of talking to others that can be somewhat offending... some people can be very intolerant of ways in which others may want to express themselves... i feel quite unhappy about having been addressed in certain ways that i very much dislike... i'm not referring to anyone over here within this community... in any case... i just thought of responding to the question about how i am today... but i think i had a good day... and this phase of anger will dissipate... and i'll get cooled down very soon hopefully... and i trust that something positive will eventually come out of this current phase... in any case... hoping u r doing well... peace and blessings...

Martianexplr - listen, don't let them get to you. they are fighting their own demons then projecting them onto you. they dont have patience because they either misread it or just dont care at that point. you must find the strength to overcome it no matter how insignificant or huge. im glad some of your day was better. :)

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
