They may not appreciate my answer or have time for it. But it also makes me think about asking it, am I being sincere. Am I really listening to others. And if I am really listening, what am I willing to do to help them if their answer isn't "I am doing just fine". . . Thanks for making me think about this today.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13729746508094507948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-43847781758086614.post-43848320396773159522010-03-02T18:17:28.800-08:002010-03-02T18:17:28.800-08:00Thanks ladies- It's comforting that other peop...Thanks ladies- It's comforting that other people can relate.<br /><br />Girl Next Door- boy have I over-shared at different times.

I also completely relate (because I have MS and Lupus) to not wanting to tell people the "truth" because I don't want to bring them down with the reality of my life. Tough one for me too!Melissa, Multi-Tasking Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04552463538625125742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-43847781758086614.post-83474706298106010982010-03-02T11:17:09.721-08:002010-03-02T11:17:09.721-08:00I love it!

Being a SAHM, I so...You should frame that chart! <br /><br />Being a SAHM, I sometimes give a complete answer to the "how Are You" question seeing as though contact with others is limited.<br /><br />However I totally understand the "deer in headlights" since many times in my life (with all of my family's medical problems) I have stopped to wonder what the appropraite response should be.<br /><br />I have learned to just say "okay" as I have said probably too much in the past.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
