Como esta usted?

When you first look at this post, you might think, "What is up with the title?" I will explain!
Como esta usted means how are you in Spanish.  Why in the world am I talking about how are you?   Here is why:
1.  How are you makes someone feel noticed and not invisible.
2.  How are you is a great way to start a conversation.
3.  How are you is really telling someone you care about them and you care about how their day went.

You probably never thought that how are you was that important.  Usually,  the first sentence you say to someone when you see them on a new occasion is:  Hello, How are you?

So next time you ask someone how they are,  really think about all the good it does.

Right now I am asking you ( yes YOU!) this question:

How are YOU?
