&lt;p&gt;A simple question that usually is followed by a polite response expressing our contentment with our daily life situation. I&amp;rsquo;ve been answering it a little differently lately: &lt;strong&gt;&amp;ldquo;Not so good, really. I&amp;rsquo;m completely burnt out!&amp;rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;People are taken aback by this brutal honesty and many don&amp;rsquo;t know how to respond. I don&amp;rsquo;t want to make things hard on them, but I can&amp;rsquo;t stand lying to others (and myself) anymore. Regardless of peoples responses, it&amp;rsquo;s been a relief to come out in the open.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
