GREAT ANSWER EVERY TIME

“Enjoying life.”

Why do those two words
usually bring a step back response
when someone asks,
“How’s it going?’ or
“What are you doing?”

“Enjoying life!”

Actually tasting the taste of an orange
or the spaghetti sauce or the raspberry
sherbet or the coffee bean in the coffee.

Actually praying the words and picturing
an enemy or a person who annoys us– 
when we pray, “Forgive us
our trespasses as we forgive those
who trespass against us?”

Stopping to ask a kid his favorite game
or her favorite song or favorite flavor
of ice cream?

“Enjoying life.”

You can bet, I am. How about you?

“Enjoying life.”
