I am with you.

In my day to day life I have people ask me "how are you today" and I never answer OK, my reply is always FANTASTIC! and said with enthusiasm. Some grumpy people are taken by surprise.

Yesterday (long story that is irrelevant) I was at the emergency room of a local hospital for an X-ray after the dentist dropped my new gold crown right in the center of my throat. Gag, gulp, down it went. They wanted a x-ray to be certain it was in my stomach and not lungs. I had no issues breathing, and felt fine.

The ER is a LONG tedious wait for routine stuff. I saw several people in bad shape, and the really bad ones were in a room, and just the average issues were in the hall with me. It is not a happy place. The security guard even mentioned you are in a good mood, and I said it is perpetual, and by choice. Of all the other patients there, I was in zero discomfort, and I had my cell phone to entertain me with PPOT and text with my lovely wife.

So when you hear someone asks how you are, reply with fantastic!, and tell yourself you are living in the greatest country in the world, you have plenty of food and clean water. You have a house and sufficient income to pay the bills and there is no one trying to kill you or actively suppress your actions. Life may not be perfect, but your life is better than 99% of the people that ever lived.
