My daughter and grandson are coming this evening instead of yesterday. There was something going on at school today that my Grandson didnt want to miss. LOL! It is raining here, much needed for all of my plants, rose bushes. I picked my Mom up and we went to the gym. I asked her on the way home if she would like to stop and have breakfast. She said no, so when we got to her house she was surprised that I wasn’t coming in. I told her that I was going out for breakfast and that’s what I did. I went to a little cafe and everyone was very nice. It was enjoyable. I had a light bulb moment today about my life. So much of the traits that my sister and I have come from our upbringing, mainly my Mom. Today when she didn’t want to go to breakfast she made the assumption that I would’t go as she had made the decision. As trivial as that seems, it made me think about issues that are happening now in our family. We all don’t deal with issues constructively as we weren’t taught how as children. A lot to think about. I can see things that I am working on personally. I am trying to break the circle of dominance, rage, and selfishness that I was brought up in. At least I am recognizing the issues and am trying to change things within myself.
