The Good Life: Accept your quirks

By Sterling Parker
Do you ever wonder? I really mean that you ponder about all the different quirks there are. The definition of quirk: A peculiar behavior or action or personality or mannerism. Everyone has different mannerisms. I have, you have, we all do. Maybe I am just the only person that is crazy! It is true, I have had brain surgery and have had some matter removed from the old noggin. I have a couple of quirks that I will convey. So hold on and enjoy the "good life." 
I always wonder why my nose drips and my feet smell. I have never figured that one out. Oh yes, the washing machine quirk. Everybody has experienced this quirk. You put your socks in the washing machine. You have them all matched and when you take them out you are missing one. It happens every time, that you are one sock short. Really, this one really irks me. 
Why does everybody enjoy eating breakfast for supper? I know this one: everybody is too tired to fix breakfast in the morning - just a glass of juice and you are off to work or school. Instead, you will take the time in the evening and scramble some eggs and hash browns with a side of toast and bacon. I do this once a week. 
The next one I have watched through the years: being 10 minutes late for church service. No matter if your service is at 9 or 11 a.m. or 1 p.m. The same people are late. In contrast, the same folks that are always first to church want to sit in the same seats. They are there 30 minutes early every week. 
We all have our quirks or peculiar mannerisms. Some of us have superstitious that overcome us. But I won't go there for this edition. Just enjoy the "good life" and realize we all have quirks. Oh yes, I'm the one that is there a half hour early every week enjoying the "good life."
