Ok. So I was prompted to read a story about a mother’s wisdom in showing her daughter how a carrot, an egg, and some coffee faired against a pot of boiling water. Afterwards I was given the question of which one I was.

“Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength? Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff? Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and hardened heart? Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you.”

What say I to this. I say I am a definitely a hybrid of carrot/coffee. I don’t believe anyone would buy me though…. ANYWAY. I say this simply because when hardships come into my life. I usually handle whatever comes my way pretty well. Although, I will bend a little and might become depresso for a while depending on the severity of the situation at hand. I would write more, but I don’t want to sound cheesy. Mmmm……cheese
