How are you?

"I'm not answering that question today."

What a great, bold answer to an all too common question.


Married for 35 years and in the midst of a divorce...

"How are you?"



A best friend dies...

"How are you?"


It is completely understandable to "not answer" that question OR to get frustrated. Is it society...have we all just trained each other that we really don't care? Is it that we just don't want to share our heart...possibly cry or say something "wrong?" Do we want others to "have a brain" and realize how we are without asking?

What's up with "how are you?" Do you really want to know? Do I really want to know?

Yes, I do.

Hey...how are you?

Maybe we should start asking each other different questions like...

WHO are you?

WHAT is going on in your life?

How are you FEELING about this?

...and then REALLY listen.
