The letters pile up in the hallwayJunk mail and bills from the catalogues
And the neighbours have guessed 'cos I've cancelled the milk
And they don't hear your voice through the walls anymore
How is your life today ?
I was kissed on the cheek by a cold mouth
While the taxi was waiting like a getaway car
Each second seems like a lifetime
And the cat it's been staring at me all this time
How is your life today ?

Are we satisfied and grateful for the course our lives are taking? Or do we always have this sense of unfulfillment? Do we assess our lives in terms of what has happened in the past or the present that we currently inhabit?Do we ever reach happiness? And if we do, do we feel guilty about it?
How is your life today? That is the question...Are we satisfied and grateful for the course our lives are taking? Or do we always have this sense of unfulfillment? Do we assess our lives in terms of what has happened in the past or the present that we currently inhabit?Do we ever reach happiness? And if we do, do we feel guilty about it?

amazingly for me, things have been looking good for the first time in a year (and very surprisingly since i'm truly abandoned in Bristol). plus i've been outta the States for FIVE GLORIOUS YEARS yesterday.
wanna talk more but Pam's coming in from London. as well, wanna comment on your Mythologies but that must wait for now--i've gotta get moving.
So many meaningful questions that could dake up several posts.Life always have its ups and downs.Sometimes you reach fulfillment there is something missing and other times that you have nothing you are happy.My life is great at the moment.But sometimes I get down as I miss, people, moments gone etc
How is your life today?
A nice question to ask to people that we see.Usually very few care!
The struggle to find someone that will turn your knots into bows is great.
We feel like a letter writen backwards sometimes...and the mirror we use to see ourselves is dusty.
I sometimes wait for someone to clean it but never to turn it around...

@Rimone: Glad that your life is fulfilling, I hope it gets even better!!(what do you mean abandoned??)I will wait for subsequent comments when you have time :)
@pixie: "How is your life today?

I agree, or we ask out of habit but we do not listen to what other people have to say/what troubles them.
"Life always have its ups and downs."
Yes, life is extremely whimsical with ups and downs...you never know what hides in the next corner!
Glad that you feel good, it is important not to feel miserable or indifferent all the time (like many people I know) and be grateful!
@chris: I really liked your metaphor!!it portrays our relation to the past very vividly...
Mia: what do you mean abandoned??)I will wait for subsequent comments when you have time
'abandoned' as in, the dude (who was my BF and best friend for 5 1/2 years and took me w/him from NYC to DE and then here (was also my live-in tech support who designed my site); anyway, he got a gig at yahoo.co.uk in london and moved there last weekend. unfortunately, Career-Boy and i broke up like a year ago. we're still good friends but i know only a handful of people in Bristol. funnily enough, mr workaholic (who is like 20 years younger than me) and i went out dancing and drinking in the UK like maybe 5x in the 2 1/2 years we were together here (well, apart from touring w/the Alabama 3 all over England and Scotland but that doesn't count).
i myself have been out three times since he split and have had a marvelous time each time, meeting dozens of fantata people. :-) so thank you for asking.
Sorry for the delayed response...I guess this is your answer for the 'how is your life today' question which I very much appreciate. Life can be hard and weird some/many times. I wish all the best...
lol, thank you. :-)
