I like my pizza with everything on it!

It's kind of been a busy afternoon today so I asked the crew (meaning Zoe and Hannah) what they'd like to eat for dinner. They exclaimed , "pizza"...well with a little help like..."Would you like pizza?" from me.

Anyway, I sat down to online order...love the 21 century...and as I was looking over the menu and ordering, I made a Forest Gump discovery! I realized that life can be like a pizza. There are those who like it with no sauce; some like it with the basics...meaning pepperoni and cheese; some are carnivores while others are vegetarians; and finally some like it with a little of everything!
We approach life in much the same way. Some like order and structure; some dive right in and chew away and others are quite picky. Finally, some like predictability coupled with life's spontaneity...life can be very good at that!

Now me, as a person, tend to bend toward the predictable and structured. That changed forever the moment I had Zoe...this is a good thing! Through all of the little changes I've had, I've realized how nice little surprises can be...and some not so little surprises! Through life's vicissitudes I realized that I had made a decision that was quite outside myself! I had broken the mold...even though I am still 'bent' in my structured way...I have changed, or been changed by the circumstances and decisions that have helped shape my life.

I could go on eating pepperoni pizzas with extra cheese forever; but, just think of all the wonderful flavors I'd have missed!
