Good

Doing well is a result of doing good.

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

We do the best we can.  Or we should try to.  We could always do better.  Most times we could also do worse.  Do the best you can and try to do a little better the next day.  Eventually you will be better than you are.

 

And talk to other people about how they're doing.  I do that with Wayne.  I really appreciate him.  He checks in with me periodically.  Sometimes he asks how I'm doing.  Sometimes he tells me how great I am.  Sometimes he shares information with me.

 

I'm grateful to him.  He's a good friend.  When a friend asks, be honest about how you're doing.  They can be helpful.  They can provide opportunities for you to reflect on your progress.  

 

Here is an example from a recent text where Wayne helped me understand how things are going for mesimply by asking two questions.

 

Wayne: How are you?

 

Me: IM PRETTY GOOD.  Ooops.  Not all caps good.

 

Wayne: THAT GOOD?

 

Me: Not quite.
