Through the Mist

If I could only eat three things for the rest of my life it would definitely have to be scrambled eggs with cheese for breakfast, ramen noodles for lunch and chicken fried chicken with county gravy for dinner. I can’t live without eggs and Ramen’s are cheap and timeless, plus you can dress them up a million different ways believe it or not! The dinner choice was difficult because things like pizza and chicken parmesan or my mom’s homemade squash soufflé came to mind, but the squash has no meat in it and parmesan would wear thin on me with all that tomato sauce, the same with pizza. So, chicken fried chicken it is!

The most beautiful thing I have ever seen is love. It’s all around us. It’s the look in someone’s eyes when they tell you they love you, the old couple holding hands or helping each other in and out of the car, the mother holding her newborn baby, two lovers reunited after being apart for so long. There are so many different forms, different ways of expressing it, but if it’s true you can see it and when you do your heart melts. Nothing compares to love. Whether it is for another person or for a hobby or passion such as art, music, dancing, singing, teaching, etc. it does not matter.  If your heart is in it then it is love.

If I won the lottery I would of course change a few things about my life like paying off my college bills, maybe getting a house for my boyfriend and I and most importantly giving back to the ones I love, especially my parents for all they have done. I would get my mom a new car, my dad a new boat, my brother some plane tickets home from Japan to visit us and a trip to visit him, my sister help her with her college, my boyfriend help with his college bills and of course give to a few charity organizations as well. The one that would not change is who I am as a person. Money might make life easier in some aspects, but it does not define it and it does not define me!

The family tradition that I plan on continuing and passing onto my children would definitely have to be Christmas Eve family get together and gift giving. Every year my Dad’s side of the family gets together after having drawn names and we each give a gift to someone. Sometimes we switch up the technique, like last year we did the Secret Santa game which was fun. The only thing that matters really is all of us being together and enjoying each other’s company.  Plus having all of the delicious food certainly does not hurt! My mom goes all out from ham, to casseroles and cookies, pies and cakes. The sky is the limit! My mouth is watering just thinking about it!
