Responses to How Are You Doing

-
How many times a day do people ask you how are you doing?  Personally I try to use this time to uplift my fellow man by highly exaggerating the state of life at that point.  Of course they think I am being disengenuine or some such but you know no one really wants to hear problems so why not give them a tale that will let them know not everones life is as disastrous as they think they live.  


One day I will tell everyone I am Fabulous and having a Fierce day.  Oh they snicker but you know seeing them smile does make for a fabulous and fierce day (watching way too much Project Runway episodes).  


Another day I will say everything is bodacious.  When they ask what does bodacious mean (like anyone doesn't really know) I tell them it means beyond awesome!  So the next time someone asks how you are doing light up your face like a Christmas tree and let them know life couldn't be better.


Of course, some days are easier to feign enthusiasm than others but if you keep trying you will find the whole attitude in the group (be it at work, church, school, etc.) will improve.  So let's all pay it forward for a change.

In all of the English language, no two words personify hope and the unexpected as What If.  These 2 words form the basis for most if not almost all stories we hold near and dear to our hearts.  It is a very prolific technique for exploring a new idea for a novel, screenplay, poem, prose and any other form where words dominate.  Personally, I like to ask the What If? question for any point in my life where I had to make a decision that formed the iconic fork in the road.  What if I had not married her?  What if I hadn't left this college?  What if I had not finished college, what might I have done?  Given the way life went, what if I had pursued my true dream instead of the safe path I actually followed? What if can also be applied to purely fictional enterprises like What if our legal system was more of a lottery than a process.  In other words, you are accused, they roll the dice which determines guilt, innocents and the length of your prison term as well as the fine?  It would

Reflecting on the Time Since the Signing

-
You know what the signing is?  That is the moment you put your signature, your name to an everlasting document called the divorce decree that will haunt and curse you from that moment until the day you die and beyond.  So, how does this event last past death? Because your legacy will be how you handled yourself post signing. Your offspring and descendants, friends, acquaintance's will discuss what the divorce seemed to be for you while you were breathing topside. That agreement will be revisited, reviled, rebuked and studied to death.  Literally.  If there is ever a time when you are not in your right mind it is when you are presented with this agreement,  or judge ordered agreement to sign and be bound to for the duration.  The duration may be from now on, for 3 years or until your children are the age of majority.  After the fact, after all the payments have been paid and when you are reflecting on your life in that rest home as your eyes dim and breathe your last breath that
