blog # 5 Responding to the "in your journal"

I chose the reflect on the poem of the onion, not only because it was the shortest but because the content also humored me and made me think, about a time when i have looked past significant things onto other areas of interest. and how we often have tunnel vision about things. the questions at the end of the reading made me think hard as to some things i often over look in my like because of familiarity or i take them for granted. I'd like to focus on family i think family is a large miracle that we often over look and take for granted, i had an eye opening experience over the summer when i went to Canada where the majority of my family lives i found i spent lots of time with my grandparents who i don't often see and it made me realize the reason i was out there was to build strong relationships with my grandparents who wont be around for ever. I also had the chance to re build a bridge with some relatives that i had a negative perspective on built primarily by my parents. being with them and making my own decisions helped me to find my own opinions are perspectives about them. i loved my time there. hope this is a good response.
