Broccoli. Me amor.

3 de Marzo

Firstly, miracle of miracles - my eyes are better? Hmmm, maybe my mama is right about the pills? I'll find out for shizzle next week.

I was given broccoli for dinner. Apparently my family is not typical. Vegetables are not common here, so that's pretty awesome. Next time I'll eat every single one... I ate the ones on my plate, but next time I'll eat even more now that I know what I know about lack of veggies. Sidenote: I mean, I was given broccoli as a side dish, not as the whole meal.
Also, I see little machismo things in my family here, but it's actually quite similar to things from home, so it's not toooooo upsetting. Only upsetting because I see the same nonsense in the US, too.

I also had cucumber and tomato salad yesterday for lunch. Mmmm.

I'm trying to write about a minor conflict I had today with another Aspirante, but meh. Basically, I told him to stop talking badly about someone because it defeats the purpose of what we're doing here. He didn't agree with me, but at least I got my 2 cents in. Since ya know, no one likes to be reprimanded - I may have wounded that potential relationship, but I also still feel I would've said the same thing again, so yeah - esta bien.

But seriously, if we can't be a cohesive group of people - how can be possibly be effective? And if we can't find the good in the people we're with - how will we find good with others we're serving? That just seems to be my point of view.

Me and my big defensive mouth!
