“Nothing ever has to be the way you don’t like it”

~Dustin

This week’s quote of the week comes from sitting and observing my dad eat a meal today in the hospital. He was on a liquid diet and one of the items that was on his menu was chicken tortillia soup, something that I know that he would originally despise, but he was so hungry that he ate it.

That made me think of this week’s quote because in my time living independently, I have made things to eat as I liked them because there are things that I just can’t stand to eat and there is nothing wrong with that. Now that I am on my own, I have accepted the fact that it is perfectly acceptable to not eat what is planned in the mainstream food becuase it is what is expected in the traditional family home.
