How Are You Doing?

If you want to improve your attitude on a bad day (as well as the attitude of others),  or if you just want a good conversation starter, here’s a quick and easy thing to do.  Simply come up with an unexpected answer to the question, "How are you?"

As a general rule, people usually respond to that question by saying, "fine" or "I’m OK."  How boring is that? In fact, those type of answers have become so common that the person asking how you are isn’t even listening to your reply.  Let’s shake that up a bit.

Whenever someone asks me how I’m doing, I say something like, "I feel pretty."  Sometimes, I even break out in song about it.  Now, coming from a nearly 300 pound man, that answer gets a reaction.

Other answers I use often are "I’m squishy" (and I say that as I pat my belly).

If I’m not feeling particularly funny at the moment, I simply say, "I’m blessed" or "I’m blessed beyond all possible comprehension."  That usually kick starts a conversation, but it is true.  I am a very blessed individual.  I’m betting you are too.

The trick is to stand out.  Don’t get buried in the "sea of sameness."

Be blessed, y’all.

Happy Easter, Everyone.

I just wanted to take a break from business to wish everyone a very safe and happy Easter – or, as we say around my house, “Happy Resurrection Day.”  

We had a lovely day of going to church, having a nice lunch and playing games on the Wii.  It’s always nice to do things as a family. 

Take care and God bless.
