Houston, we have a problem

During Chinese New Year, I like to buy some CNY decor for my house.  I like to get Mystic Knots to decorate my porch and smaller ones to hang on the doors of my home.   There is a slight problem hence, the reason for this post.  My MIL also likes to buy stuff to decorate my home.  When she sees me buying something, she’ll get something too.  For example, I bought a butterfly knot to hang outside my home.  When she saw what I did, she went out and bought a huge knot with a Chinese word for me to place outside my home.  She said my butterfly knot is too small.  Just so you know, we don’t have the same tastes.  We are like night and day.   This is just one of the  things she bought.  Anyway, we have more things in the house now because of this.  All I can do is……

meditation

Om…om….om…om

I’ve been told that when I take a deep breath and chant Om, it causes a very calmful effect.  It helps to draw my attention away from other tensions in my mind.

Om…om…om….om

    hahaha….like most married women, I found most MIL and their daughters a pain in the neck. Your post confirmed my suspicion. Silently wished they keep their mouths shut and fade away into the background. Hai, have to stand them and smile to them some more!
