William Shakespeare

how are you

How art thou? I ask myself this question daily, and yet I am never truly certain of the answer. I find my feelings ever in flux, like the sea, or the wind, or the stars in the sky. Some days I feel as though I am a mighty warrior, ready to take on any challenge that may come my way. Other days I am weak and weary, as if I have been walking in circles for years. Ah, the enigma of life! And yet, I cannot help but smile and find joy in the little things. How art thou? I am content, aye, and blessed to be alive. I am thankful for the moments I have, the moments I will have, and the moments I have shared with those I love. How art thou? I am doing well, and ever so grateful for the life I have been given.
