Think about this for a moment, what are the most common responses you hear when you ask someone, “How are you”? Here are some I hear: “OK, I guess.” “Not to bad.” “Don’t ask.” “Eh….” “Fine.” Or if someone really turns up the happy notch they say, “I’m good”. Do you get excited reading those responses?
