•  my parents are complete opposites when it comes to perception….

  the discussion of ppl who indulge in gluttony and become obese came up while we were having sunday brunch/lunch and here goes the convo:

  dad: fat ppl stay fat because they are lazy.

  mom: NO! they are dilligent in eating!

  haha. same concept, different views. 

  where do i fall amongst this range? smack in the middle.  practicing an open mind is so easy when there is so much diversity in your household to begin with.  this is how i was raised… this is what i know best.. but i can extend myself, reach for more, take away with me the good, study the reason of the bad and leave the useless behind.

  i found myself recognizing that i am equally my mother’s daughter as well as my father’s daughter. 

  all in all… i am blessed.

   

  

  side note: a class on relationship and codependency should be a requirement in all colleges.
