People routinely ask you how you are doing and you respond, “Okay.”  Okay sometimes is not just an automatic response.  Sometimes it means whatever you are going through you are dealing adequately with it.

Sure we don’t respond to how we are doing and tell every person who asks all of our problems.  The truth is most people are not interested and do not want to hear all our difficulties we are going through.  And we should not burden every Tom, Dick and Harry we meet with them.

But sometimes okay is just that:  we are doing the best with our particular situation and thanks for asking:  I am “Okay.”  And that is okay.
