  you are who you are so much more due to your own peculiar genetic inheritance, and this is what eventually prevails.. there was a longitudinal study i read a number of years ago that tested the idea that we all have inborn "happiness setpoints".

  these people in the study were followed through 20-25 years and periodically examined as regards their self-reported measures of happiness.

  the finding was that no matter what happened either positively or negatively in their lives, within 8-12 weeks they were universally back to their baseline.. this means a couple of things:.

  you guys remember the show third rock from the sun?

  if you don't, a group of aliens take on human bodies and pose as a family on earth.

  they try to fit in but get things wrong and hilarity ensues.. yesterday my family celebrated easter.

  i used to think of leaving early.

  at the end i started making excuses to leave (supposedly work related) so that i could just get out of there.

  i will appoint you over many things.

  22next the one that had received the two talents came forward and said, master, you committed to me two talents; see, i gained two talents more.

  i told my mom that i'm not going back to the meetings.

  i wasn't planning on telling her that but i've been going through some hard times with my husband and just got fed up with her hounding me.

  so she asked if i'll still consider going back to the meetings and i just flat out told her no and that it wasn't up for discussion.
