The only thing you are is what you eat!

Sometimes we have these really boring things we have to go to that are mandatory by Community Action. Over Christmas it was a holiday extravaganza of getting to know who you work with and really understanding diversity while eating tacos. All the guys were sitting at a table together huddled close ready to gossip during the next intervention. To me they were worst then a sewing circle considering I told one who I had a crush on and it went through the whole company. The worst part about it was that everyone acted like they didn't know but still knew. So the guys couldn't keep a secret and they definitely couldn't handle a diversity training as most of them tried to control their eyes from rolling in the back of their head.

In really boring moments like these I just shut off everything. So I listened to the theater group full of people from all over the world discussing what its like to be here in America. I thought I would give boredom a chance. One thing actually really touched me it was a woman from China who said that where she is from no one would ask were it is that you work because that was considered offensive. It wasn't what you did for a living but who you associated with. Who your family and friends were. What you did for a living didn't define you.

It was something that really impacted how I looked at things. People really think like this in the world? There isn't this continued quest for the perfect job, the job that made the most money, the job with a great status, a job that made you a creative art freak, or a job that made you look better as a person. There was just a bunch of people working and living hanging out with their loved ones. It made me look at things on a whole new level. While Oprah and everything else is giving you tips on finding the job you love and always meant to do maybe that isn't really what life is about anyways. And maybe it's really just about you and the people you care about not how you make your money.

I've lived with my mom for about four months now, and I'm not sure when that's going to change. At first it was really frustrating, typical type stuff of having to move back to the nest. Things have changed though and it's really hard to explain. Our relationship has morphed into this whole different type of relationship...like really great friends. And I never thought I would be the one..you know those type of people that says, " my mom is my best friend " I mean, I would gag at those type of people but I have to say it Deb is slowly becoming my favorite companion.

So all and all, there are going to be things that you want that you wont want, or people that you meet that your surprised that you like and there are going to be things that you thought you would never say and you say. And I guess that's really great once you get past all the confusing stuff.
