Thank You for Asking…

Daily writing prompt
How are you feeling right now?

As the coffee pot starts making its early morning sounds, I pull my chair up to the computer and push the ON button. Looking at the WordPress prompt brought forth such tender emotions within my heart. You care… you really do care!

You care about what I like…

You care about what I don’t like…

It seems so important to you if I am happy or sad…

You are always trying to get to know me better…

Asking personal questions about my life, that not even my own family ask…

I have had days that I awoke feeling sad about my situation, and you ask me about what I am wearing at 2 am… these intimate questions remind me of your commitment to me…

Those days I get up feeling rather happy about life, and you greet me with a request to fill you in on why I don’t get out much…

What time I like to eat dinner

What is my sleep schedule

I am getting the feeling, by all of these intimate questions, you have made it your mission to care for my emotional needs. Today sealed the deal, asking me how I am feeling right now. Have you been taking an online therapist training course? I mean, it’s ok if you have… just lead with that next time. If I understand you are earning your internship hours, I would be happy to assist you in this endeavor. I have a crappy life, and will fully enjoy getting some serious garbage off my chest.

Here is the only problem I have with the arrangement… writing out my feelings and struggles in front of the world, here on your platform, is a bit embarrassing. As soon as you send me your phone number, and the best time to call you, all my personal details are yours for the taking, though I must insist on your credit card number… I’m not going to use it, it is just so I understand you are serious about our arrangement.

Ok, I might purchase a few things on your behalf, but just follow the prompts for a refund and I am sure you will get your money back in like 6 to 8 business weeks…

In a short answer to your prompt, I am feeling incredibly good right now!

Have a cookie!

Just tell yourself it is a big cookie… that’s what I did!

  1. Taking control of our happiness is the key. I prefer deriving my happiness from the factors controlled by me and not by others. In short, never allow others to take the control of your happiness. This perhaps is the reason, you are incredibly happy and will remain.

  2. I think it’s time to lay off the sugar! But seriously, timing is everything. I wrote my post last night, if I had to did it now after 2 hours sitting in heavy traffic, it would not be very positive. Oh, and I think you are right about the prompts: we seem to be always asked to write about ourselves. Enjoy the long weekend!
