Week #291 – How’s everybody doing out there?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greetings Tribe — Happy (and Healthy) Friday to you all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(And a Happy Passover and Easter Week to all who are celebrating!)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week<\/a>, I challenged myself to take some of my own advice. And this week I thought I’d do the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m flashing back to Week #13<\/a> and remembering a phrase that was left on Rob’s “word board” at his wake:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Hey, how ya’ doing?”<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a question we hear\u00a0in passing every single day (How are ya? \u00a0How ya’ doing?) — but few people really intend to get an answer. \u00a0As many of you know, my brother Rob was not a casual question asker-er. \u00a0When he asked you something — he meant it. \u00a0He wanted to know the answer — and he was prepared to take the time to get it. \u00a0He wasn’t afraid of an honest answer either. \u00a0In fact, he seemed to delight in it! \u00a0I’d venture a guess that much of the happiness in our individual relationships with him was built on this kind of ease and honesty. \u00a0It is one of the things I selfishly miss the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And so, I’m taking my own advice from Week #13<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Happyness Challenge for the Week Ahead: How are you doing out there? (For real!) <\/strong>Are you keeping it together? Falling apart? Feeling overwhelmed? Sad? Angry? (That would be me on occasion!) Have you figured out a way to start something new in this “new normal” — or are you struggling to just get your pants on in the morning? Is there anything I can do to help or encourage or celebrate with you? \u00a0Because…and this is true…I believe in you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spread Happyness this week…and tell me how you’re doing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
