Priorities As Told Through Breakfast

I suppose New Years has become a symbol for change. Change of calendar, change of….well maybe, the calendar is the only change I can think of right now, but you know what I mean. Things like regrouping priorities, goal planning, and praying for peace and all of that.

So here are some priorities for me this year, as told through some photos from today’s breakfast.

1. Learn to serve others with a whole heart, put myself after others, and remember eating breakfast in jammies just feels better, so do it!

As I took a photo of my delicious 2009 blueberry pancakes, I unknowingly picked up Ry stopping to serve his sister some juice.

2. Know my strengths. Between courses off breakfast, we played some video games. I will be honest, I get booed of stage every time I play the game Guitar Hero. Strumming along to fake chords and missed rhythms is not my idea “fun”. However, I am willing to cheer, educate, and of course photograph someone else doing all the Guitar Hero work.

Thanks Uncle Tim, for letting us borrow Guitar Hero for the weekend.

3.  Try new things. French Toast…really? Well, odd as it may be, I really cannot remember making this totally common breakfast before (largely due to the fact I have sworn it off as an ‘ick’ food for most of my life). I used the french bread leftovers (from our traditional bread/oil New Year’s Eve snack) with some vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, and of course, powdered sugar for some awesome french toast. This new change, will be repeated. Yum!

You never know what breakfast can teach you about yourself!
