What do you like?

I like cookies....

I read somewhere that we spend the first half of our lives being conditioned and the second half of our life trying to undo that conditioning????  The first half goes like this….do this, do that, don’t be loud, don’t be shy, don’t wear that, you need to change, you shouldn’t look like that, you can’t do that, it is wrong to think that, you must fit in, you should do this job…blah, blah, blah.  We learn to fit into the family, the school, the social cliques, the workplace etc.  We actually learn to lose ourselves into a miss mash of what others expect.  But guess what? Who says that a bunch of outsiders know us better than we know ourselves???

Doing the “Right” thing???????

I feel good.............

Following on from our Random Acts of kindness post,(see under Health and Well Being Heading dated 12 Aug 2011 ), another shopping experience made me think of a new post.  I bought some milk and a bunch of scourers, (exciting shopping, I know) and when asked would you like a bag I said “No thank you, I shall just carry these”…………walking out of the shop juggling my shopping with my purse I felt a sense of “goodness” come over me as I had done the “right thing” and did not waste a plastic bag.  It made me think how it definitely feels good to do the “Right thing”.
