The traditions of breakfast

I was running late this morning and so I grabbed my lunch as I headed out the door without having breakfast. I am one of those types that HAS to eat breakfast or I can't function for the day. As I got to school and found a little time to eat, I decided to try and eat my lunch.

I don't know why but it was a no go. I couldn't eat it.

I can eat breakfast for dinner any day of the week but I can't eat dinner for breakfast... why is that?

It is crazy to me that breakfast seems like the most ritualistic meal. All of the people and cultures I know, there are very few things that normally get consumed for breakfast. It makes me wonder if we just eat so few items for breakfast that it becomes ingrained in us that if the food item isn't one of those food items, it isn't for breakfast.

Needless to say, I am having to wait awhile before I can eat. It looks like today I am going to be having brunch.

Deep thoughts...or just thoughts

What is reality...

reality to me changes on a daily basis. As I try to navigate through life, life seems to twist and turn to morph in things that it used to not be. As I look back, I see things much more clearly and I think, ah. I guess that is what we call 20/20 hindsight.

I also look back and see things that used to be so simple and now they are more complex than I could have ever imaged. I think to myself, how did this get so complicated and why did it change. Did it change or did I change? It is this kind of thought process that makes me question if reality is a singular thing or if it changes.

Maybe reality is something that unravels and as you live life you gain a greater clarity on what exactly reality is. As you live, your focus sharpens on some aspects, other loose their focus and therefore become confusing and not as simple.

Ultimately I believe that there is one reality but does anyone really get to experience it or are we all experiencing what each other believes is reality and so therefore act according to our reality.

I have heard the saying, "in the eyes of the beholder." Does that mean that reality takes on different forms depending on the person? It all depends on our perception of reality and not reality itself?

All I know is that reality is a mystical thing that eludes me and each life experience I have seems to form my ever changing reality!
