"How are you today?" This is the common question, I normally ask someone when I meet him/her.
These were the responses I received from different elderly individuals:
I feel like a baby today, I lost one of my tooth.
Today, it is bad for me, I do not know why.
I cannot complain, I feel I am very good.
Very good and how about you?
It is not easy with life, I am a bit down today.
Hope the weather is better today.
God is good, I am happy today.
It can be boring today, I do not know what I want to do later.
It is upsetting there are many things I want to do but I am unable to accomplish.
Each individual expressed different feeling(s) and he/she really expressed it from the heart.
Often I take for granted that everyone is doing well, not until I heard her/his own words, then I should not jump to conclusion that they are OK!
