Have it your way

Most every morning Mike and I have a breakfast of a fruit protein shake. Sometimes he makes it and sometimes I make it. I like mine icy, really frozen and thick. Mike likes his frothy, light, creamy and airy. We put exactly the same thing in it, and yet his are light and airy and mine are freezing cold and stiff. I like the way I do it and he likes the way he does it. Depending on the morning and who makes it, is whether or not the shake is yummy good to either one of us.
We both appreciate the efforts of the other, and neither of us every complains. They taste good regardless.
However this morning we were making it together. Mike fresh squeezed the orange juice( he does this every morning), and one by one with Mike at the blender we added each ingredient. And then I saw it! He kept blending away, long after I would have stopped. Help my frozen shake was being fluffed and frothed until it was like whipped cream.
WE laughed and teased each other about how the other makes it wrong and agreed that from the same blender we can both have it our way. I'll blend longer for him, and he will less for me. Honestly before this morning we didn't think to ask or make any adjustments, it's was all about how we individually liked it. It's odd how selfish we can be and stuck in our own little world of likes and dislikes that we forget to ask the other what they would like or how they would like it. It's the little things that I think we just do without thinking. Thinking that they are not very important.....but lots of little selfish things add up to just plain being selfish.
If I can't be unselfish in the little things, I most certainly will not be unselfish in the big things..
That's it..have a great day!
