Balance, Truth, & Feeling Good

I don't know where I am going with this.  I would like to go somewhere, however.

While waiting at the check out stand in a store, I was noticing people saying, hello and how are you and fine pretty consistently.

Of course, we all see this somewhat frequently, I believe.  Do we ever think about it though?  You can bet, I am right now! 

I noticed that just being out in the world and connecting to people makes me feel good.  Just that interaction with a person can be uplifting. 

My head then goes to how real is the encounter.  Is it possible that there is a part of us that are always fine and that's the part we show to the world.  And, it's okay and maybe productive somewhat.

Of course, if we really took the time to delve past that initial 'hello'; each and everyone of us has a story that isn't quite 'fine'.

Perhaps saying fine isn't fake.  Perhaps this is what keeps us connected to our 'fine' part of ourselves.

Is it possible then that this interaction is to help us to stay balanced?

So, maybe our game today can be when you go through this 'ritual' - see in what part of you this rings true; see if you'd like to try to do it differently; see if you want to connect to the truth of your fine self!

Would you believe, that NO,  I do not have anything better to do!  Ha!
