“Suddenly each day becomes precious, something to be hoarded like candy in a child’s pocket.” - Golden Days

I’ve seen this quote somewhere and it made me realize if the days were really precious for me, then why does the day just unfolds, fleetingly ordinary and mundane as I go to sleep. Mind you, I am sincerely thankful for every single day. The moment I woke up in the morning is a blessing to be grateful for, and the rest I have at night is something that I look forward to during my busy day.

Everyday is golden, and time is precious for each one of us. A lot of people are on their deathbed wanting to live the life that we have right now. It’s ironic how some people spoil the days they have at hand, and yet someone sick and dying is so eager to trade that kind of life for a day or more. 

How are you?

This question is monotonous, overly used, casual, and must be so easy to answer - “I’m Fine.” Often, people don’t actually hear when you answer, some don't really care how I am or you are. Somehow the question is just used for convenience, and something to fill in the gaps of any moment. Do we really mean to listen to someone when we ask him/ her how he/she is doing? 

My point is, if our days are precious and our life is noteworthy. How can someone offer deaf ears when I answer how I am? 

How are you?

And, some of us would whine about life. The grumbler would complain about the heat and the humidity, or the coldness of the weather. The plowing that needs to be done. The laundry that piles up so quickly. And, the list adds on. You know, we are all so good at complaining.

On the other hand, there are people who slept last night, poor and rich, white and black, but never woke up. And those dead folks would give anything at all for another day with some quality time with the family, a couple minutes to enjoy the warmth of the day, or another five minutes to tend their garden.

Final Thoughts

Indeed, this question can make or break someone. Oftentimes, a person only needs someone to talk to and realize that life is okay and “It’s Okay Not To Be Okay.” And, that he/ she is not alone in this universe. We can simply be sincere in listening to what they have to say. 

And, for grumblers and whiners like me and you. Watch yourself about complaining. If there is something you hate doing, then change it. If there is no way to change it, then change the way you think about it. Perhaps, our lives will change for the better.

Okay, that would be all for now. That’s just me talking to myself. A note to self, actually.

But, seriously, how are you?

I miss interacting with you in the previous comment thread. I got busy after a day being bogged down by the booster shot. My weekend was filled with work and responsibilities here and there. Thank God! I'm still fine and well. So, let's talk.

Thank you for the upvotes again and again my friends and colleagues in this platform. Thanks for reading! And, thanks to my sponsors who just renewed. God bless you always!
