How are you really?

After reading all the nonsense on various threads on this forum it all boils down to 'how you really are'? This equates to how you really are without the veneer of respectability - how you really are to the bone like. Honest truth is the way these days.

So how are you really? *reaches for the handkerchief*

Re: How are you really?

Fine thanks Mark - I'm quite content with my lot. I still enjoy good health and get a lot of pleasure out of life - and give pleasure to others in my own quiet way. What more could I ask for.

Re: How are you really?

Same as ever - I'm never happy unlessI've got something to complain about!
The weather is turning a bit more unsettled, the backside is dropping out of the FTSE and the Dow Jones.... I've got a lot of work to do etc..
Other than that, I'm financially sound and in reasonable health. I'm pleased to have lost some weight, but another 2 or 3 kg would be useful. It seems that if you're heavy enough to even register on the doctor's scales - you're overeight!!

Re: How are you really?

I'm extremely happy with my life. After 20 years I am still head over heels in love with my wife, I have a wonderful family and a beautiful and much loved pack of dogs to keep me busy. I could do with more money, better health for my family members (I'm pretty much the only healthy one amongst us) and a better managed country, but couldn't we all!

Re: How are you really?

I'm damn good. And that's with all the crap going on thanks to a growth on my brain.
I have the best husband in the world, and a bunch of critters that make me smile every day!
Trying to understand though why lots of people here want to analyse/over-think everything, big or small.
What's wrong with enjoying what you have right now?

Were I honest I am in limbo. I keep the house and garden looking reasonable but I hope that when/if I sell this pile I can move on.

Mark I am as you see me on here, no 'veneer of respectability' that wore away years ago starting with my choice of men

I try to get on with all people even those I don't much like and if I feel I can't I avoid them. Life is too short to waste on conflict.

Re: How are you really?

I think if we look around at the misery in the world we can only thank our lucky stars that we are here, for whatever our personal circumstances they are a damned sight better than millions of others will ever be....
