Same old

When people ask "How are you?" we always say good, great or something like...hanging in there. But I usually answer, "same old, same old". I really want to answer a detailed thorough answer that explains how amazing my daughter is, how precious my husband is to me, how grateful and happy our cozy home welcomes us each evening, how my work situation has worked out nothing short of a miracle, how I love nursing still (and pumping) and how incredible God is to hold this all together. But I usually answer, "same old, same old". Who wants to hear all that??

My life does not need to be action filled to be fullfilling...I am grateful for the way it is.

Kathleen-
I love your heart, I always have, I know we didn't know each real well but your heart always made me feel at home with you. Like coming home to an old friend...
