3 simple words.

I know I usually blog about my music stuff, but fair to say that this has been on my mind for some time now but particularly today.

The dreaded question nobody likes to hear when they know things aren't going as well as they could be "How are you?" But there are such few people that actually ask that and mean it. I know in the job I am in, I ask it to every single customer that passes my register not caring about the response, just waiting for them to reply and for my standard, "that's good". Why is it that society throws the question around like its nothing?

I have the privileged of talking to a lot of people about whats going on in there life at the time and I can guarantee that every one of those people wants to be genuinely asked once in a while, "How are you doing?" As humans we crave interactions, but above that we crave meaningful interactions where people actually take an interest once in a while, where for once those 3 words are more than a passing statement.

I'm not sure what I hoped to gain by blogging this but I know that since being more aware, I try to actively ask people how things are.

Grace and Peace everyone!
