Ponder this question and I'll post my own response tomorrow

August 29/13

Today's musical recommendation is "Blues For My Baby and Me" by Sir Elton John

Last week as our vacation came to an end my son came into the kitchen and stood there and watched me while I made him some soup, actually his favourite snack in Mr. Noodle, and after a bit he asked me the following question:

"Dad, are you happy?  Now before you answer me please take some time and really consider the question and all it means"

With that he took his bowl of Mr. Noodle and went back to his room to continue playing around on his computer.

My first inclination was to respond fairly quickly but I took a moment to remind myself that he wanted me to really consider the question and that meant holding off on my reply.

Over the course of the last several days I've really thought hard about the question and have an answer for him when I pick him up tomorrow night to begin my custody week with him.  I think he is going to be surprised by my response, I know I was as it evolved and eventually took shape in my mind.

So let me ask you....and take your time thinking about it and what the question really means....

Are you happy?
