Food glorious food - Sunday Social!
1. If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Pizza and garlic bread... it is my favourite. I try to limit my intake but it's just so hard!

| Now THAT'S how you eat a pizza... |
2. What’s your guilty pleasure/comfort food?
Chocolate and chocolate!
3. What’s the weirdest/craziest thing you’ve ever eaten?
I'm not really a crazy eater. I tend to stick with safe food. However, most people I tell have never had sugar on toast. I would have it as a treat when I was younger and I still love the stuff.
4. What foods do you avoid at all costs?
Anything spicy. I even struggle with raw onion or simple herbs!
5. What meal reminds you of your childhood?
Sunday lunch. Every Sunday my Mam would make Sunday dinner and I loved it!
6. Share one of your favorite recipes and the story behind it.
I am obsessed with frying steak with creamy mash, broccoli, green beans and red peppers (fried in the pan after steak has been done).
What's your go to comfort food?

Time for changes...
Over the past few months my life has changed in a many ways I did not expect. They haven't been big, earth shattering like I experienced last year, but small, little changes that sort of crept up on me. My attitude to things has been shaped by last year's mis-fortunes and I am finally beginning to feel the shift. I view my own life as something which I need to constantly work on at the moment.
My attitude to work has been a big change lately. As a teacher, I invest my time, energy, tears and patience in my class. I work hard to provide an education which they will, hopefully, one day thank me for. That I realise is something I will never be able to change about myself however, the extra stresses I carry upon my shoulders I can do something about. I am a typical 'Yes' person and I will help anyone I can, much to my own detriment sometimes. I am now becoming more adept at realising when I need to say 'no'. By taking on everyone else's issues my shoulders have become over loaded and it's too difficult. I have begun to change my boundaries and decide if I have to do something. It's not the most easy attitude to adopt but I am working on it.
My views on lifestyle have changed greatly too. Since being diagnosed with anaemia earlier in the year - I have become more careful about what I eat. I have realised that I am what I eat. Through changing my diet, I have felt fresher and more healthy. It took some time as I was a typical junk food girl. I ate for ease not for nutrients. The importance of a healthy diet has never been clearer to me than lately and I now feel like I crave healthy foods if I stray for a day or so.
My changes are small but these small changes are leading to bigger changes. I sometimes think 'What would it be like if I did x/y/z?' and maybe now I will start to pursue those ideas. I am open to change. I am not sure this is how it works but who knows? For now I am content with the small things.
Have you found yourself changing or growing this year?

Wait...where am I?
I am in an unfamiliar place, I am back at my laptop looking at 'Blogger'. That's right, I am taking the plunge back into blogging. It has been far too long and I am finally ready and able to get back into the world of blogs. In previous blog breaks I have checked in once in a while to see what has been going on but this time, I hadn't even logged into my account for a couple months it seems.
There has been a lot going on and I will eventually get round to sharing but I am just looking forward to getting back into my writing and enjoying catching up with fellow bloggers around the world.

The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life.

I am beginning to find that interest in daily life once again and I am looking forward to sharing with you all again.
