A Simple, Friendly Inquiry

       To hear pleasant words at an airport fast food shop was so exceptional, it proved a tonic before taking flight.  The girl at the register said, "How are you doing this morning?"  A simple and direct question.  "Tired but ok" was my honest response.  She smiled and said she felt the same way.

       A lot better than the exchange Connie recounted she had read in a novel last week.  One character asked another, "How are you?"  "FINE.    Frantic, Irritated, Neurotic, and Exhausted."
