While recently talking to a friend, I learned that she likes to put maple syrup on mashed potatoes. She says she loves the mixture of the salty and sweet flavors. Another friend then chimed in and said her Saturday morning routine is not complete unless she has pizza for breakfast.
Breakfast is called the most important meal of the day and it seems like it can be the most varied too. Some are traditionalists and have something like eggs and toast while others start their day with a diet soda. My breakfast choices have mellowed a bit over the years, become more traditional, and probably more nutritious. As a young lad, I was very picky about what I ate for my first meal of the day. This was highlighted by an ongoing aversion to jelly and a restaurant once serving me a hamburger for breakfast when no other options would suffice.
The thing that strikes me as interesting is that so many of us have unusual breakfast habits but to us, they all seem normal. Having leftover Chinese food first thing seems a lot more normal to me than eating a doughnut or getting a breakfast sandwich from a fast food restaurant.
This is another example of how our perception of a situation really colors our perception of it. There really isn't one "right breakfast" that towers above all others. Ultimately, no matter how weird your choices may be, if they work for you, then ultimately that's all that matters. Perhaps it would be useful to use a similar lens when considering other differences in life.
