Best of Both Worlds:)

There was a bit of a situation that I really felt strongly about. So, the question was, to say something or not to say something? For the most part, I would definitely say that I am like my Dad, easy going, go with the flow, little things don't really bother me. My Dad hates to 'ruffle any feathers', and for the most part, I am that same way. I just want everyone to get along and be happy:) But then, there is that little bit of spunk in me, which undoubtedly, I get from my Mom:) So, I decided to say something. But the struggle is how do you say what you want to, and get your message across without being too passionate (and you make enemies), or too passive (they don't take you seriously)? So, I said what I felt I needed to say, and then I worried, how did I come across? Maybe I came across differently to each one that was there? Maybe some agreed, some disagreed, and some in the middle. And that is OK. We were able to have a good discussion and come to a conclusion that everyone agreed on:) It was kind of out of character for me,(and very much out of my comfort zone), but I did feel strongly on the situation. And after I really felt like my Mom would have been proud of me for standing up for what I believed in. I am thankful for that nice little bit of mixture (80% easy going, 20% spunk), that I get from both of my parents:)
