I am grateful for .... green eggs and ham

This blog is inspired by a couple of things, it started with a blog a friend of mine wrote about her daughter called gifted girl about raising a child that is just different, somewhat out of the box. Same friend popped over on Saturday and bought me some eggs her chooks had laid ... mmm ... fresh eggs :-) and there were a couple of "Easter eggs" among them, for those who don't know eggs don't just come in egg colour ... don't worry it was news to me too. So all this had my gears in my head turning.

I have been called unconventional, quirky, nuts and crazy enough times to know I think somewhat differently from others, I wish people would understand I am ok with that :-) I like that I am able to see things differently, and that I think pink flying elephants is perfectly acceptable. And I even love that at the age of 34 I like to believe in fairy magic, and when we see the sunrise I can marvel with my children how the unicorns have coloured the sky (and apart of me can see it). It makes the world a beautiful place to be in. Why would I want to be the same, oh how boring life would be. I most certainly would hate to be trained to think and exist in a box.

So before you are hard on someone who doesn't fit inside the box maybe you should rather envy the view from outside the box.

Why not be the green Easter egg among the plain eggs! I am so very grateful I can look at things differently ... I am grateful for green eggs and ham!!
