Say What?
April 15th, 2008
So what do you say when people ask how you’re doing? Happens to me all the time! Sometimes, I ask ‘compared to who’? Other times, I say ‘oh probably better than some and not as good as others’. But most often, I say ‘good enough’ and they just look at me like… what’s that supposed to mean? But really - I mean… just how good do we have to be – right! I mean… don’t we just have to be good enough! Isn’t that enough! I mean… after all, my wife just died!!! Sure, it’s been ten months… So! Don’t you just wish you had a good answer for your good friends who are just trying to say ‘I care about you – I love you, ya know’… I feel sorry for them – those who try to befreind me – it seems we often both feel caught between a right and wrong answer. What do you usually say? Help me out here – how do handle just such situations?
