How Have You Been?

I received an email that started like this:

Dear Joanne,
I know how you have been lately.

I thought to myself, okay, how HAVE I been? Crabby...unfriendly...selfish...busy, all of the above? Oh my, talk about a reality check.

Another email arrived immediately afterwards that read:

Dear Joanne,
I left out one word in the phrase: "how busy you have been"

Whew! But truthfully, it was good to meet with such a challenging statement. Made me think real hard about how I have really been lately.
