she would argue with us.
save the dishes for the morning.
we were well parented.
we knew that when at someone's house
when they fed you, you did the dishes.
it was the least you could do.
I didn't get it until I was much older.
But when I did, it just clicked.
It was a paradigm shift.
But when I did, it just clicked.
It was a paradigm shift.
It wasn't about doing the dishes.
It was all about putting your hands
in that nice, warm, soapy water.
My mom says Granny called it aqua therapy.
for me it was not only the shift in perspective
but recognizing the shift.
my point being ...
the way we see things is often times quite limited.
our perspective isn't the only one.
and sometimes all it takes
is one shift to see things completely differently.
But that usually requires one to be open,
and to consider the possibility
that their viewpoint isn't the only one that's right.
And that usually requires dropping ego.
paradigm shifts are cool.
