How are you??

How Are You?





Every Day I am asked "How are You?" My response is always, "Fine, thank you " What I would really like to say is, "Yes ... I am O.K. "

I Have My Sight ... although not perfect, I can still see the glorious sunsets, the antics of a puppy, the smile of a child, and the most important ... I can see if there are any bugs in my food..

I Have My Hearing ... even though impaired I can hear the music that takes the wrinkles out of my day. I can hear others tell me they love me! And every morning I can hear the snap, crackle, pop ... even if it isn't the cereal.

I Have My Sense Of Smell ... although marred with allergies I could tell if the house is on fire, or the baby needs changing. Oh and isn't it heavenly to smell that first cup of coffee in the morning?

I Still Have My Sense Of Taste ... I can tell when something has gone bad or sour, even though I have to wonder about my own cooking sometimes ... LoL!

I Still Have My Sense Of Touch ... even though some people say I am really touched ... The joy of touching another, loving another, petting your cat, makes you feel you are not alone...

I am O.K. you see.

I can walk, even though I may stumble --

I can talk, sometimes without stopping --

I can laugh, even when nothing is funny --

and I can cry, anytime I want to.....

In fact, I think I am better than just Okay !!

How about you my friend?

Snooze, you and I think so much alike, it's scary. When someone asks me how I am, I tell them the truth. I walked into the bar last night to check my schedule for the weekend, I am going back tonight for the first time since Bullet's conviction.

One of my regulars asked how I was doing, and I said, "My husband is in jail, wrongly accused of murder....how do you think I feel?"

I wasn't there to socialize and everyone got the picture really quick.
