1. Are you a risk taker? To what degree? I used to think I wasn't a big risk taker. After this new phase of my life started, I would say that's not true anymore. I feel like sometimes that everyday is a risk. Whether with a relationship or with anything else in life, I think that risks come our way everyday. Or at least they come my way. I'm in a relationship; that seems like a big risk to me, because of my past. It's worth it, but it's a big risk to open my heart back up again.
2. What's your favorite candy? Would you say you have a sweet tooth? My favorite candy is a Twix candy bar, but I don't have much of a sweet tooth. I'll take savory and anything bread related anyday.
3. Somewhere you've been lately that had you feeling like "a kid in a candy store"? Maine. Maine had me feeling like a kid in a candy store. It was such an amazing trip, and I felt like I was in Heaven all week long.
I want to live there, friends!
4. What do you think is the most effective way to make a positive change in the world? I think the most effective way to make a positive change in the world is to love the people around us. I am not claiming to have arrived at this place, but I try my very hardest. My job is a great place for me to do this each day. I'm so grateful that I have the job I do!
5. Do you like surprises? I love surprises. I will always try to not ruin them.
6. Insert your own random thought here. I love this song! I had forgotten about it and came across it again the other day. It's called Bones, but it's the wedding version.
I'm in a sappy phase of life, friends. What can I say?
I can't wait to read your answers to these prompts, friends! Thanks for reading my blog today, friends. Love to all!

I can see how risk taking would likely change after your divorce. If you want to be with someone again, you'd have to take risks. I used to love Twix candy bars but I think that they, along with many candy, have been changed to use less chocolate so the company making them makes more $$. There's such a tiny thin layer of chocolate now. It's easier for me to pass on, that's for sure. I loved being in Maine but we were there in the summer. I would not want to live up there in the winter with how cold and snowy it is. I would like to visit it in the fall like you did :). Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI haven't really noticed that, honestly. I guess I like all the other stuff in there as well, enough so that I didn't notice less chocolate. I'm not sure how I'd feel about the winters either, but I almost feel like the rest of the year would make up for them. I'd be curious to know what it's like!
DeleteI just can't believe it's already the last Wednesday of the month and next week will be November! I say that about Maine each time my husband and I head up there... but I'm not sure I'd love their winters.
ReplyDeleteI know! I can't believe it either. I'm curious to know how I'd feel about them now that you and Maria said the same thing.
DeleteI think you are a risk taker! You have had to be, for sure. Twix is so good. I haven't had one in quite a while.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that! I have a small one every Friday out of our fun Friday treat bucket. They're the bite sized ones.
DeleteLove when you get sappy :) So glad you loved Maine that much- I always think about maybe living there during the next phase of life!
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks! It was so beautiful. Apparently, lots of you feel the same. I loved it there and the people were so nice!
DeleteI love Maine too...our friends who live there love it but not so much in the winter which is long. They always go away for the month of January. But summers and fall are so beautiful! I'm glad you're happy : )
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm sure the winters are so long! It's a good idea to go away for the month if you can swing that. Thank you for that, friend!
DeleteMaine is definitely on my bucket list of life. And am I a risk taker? I guess it depends on what category the risk is in :) hahaha I'm not a "climb a mountain" or "ride in a helicopter" kind of risk taker. But would I move to another state if I could take my kids, my husband and we all had money? In a heartbeat! And as for being a kid in a candy store...just any old bookstore will do it for me. Again...if I had limitless money, I would spend every weekend in a bookstore, loading up on books.
ReplyDeleteWe went to Maine this summer and it was really nice!
ReplyDeleteYou are a risk taker and I agree, every day is a risk, especially in our stage of life. Not sure if I knew that you liked a Twix. I do too! That is my mom's favorite candy too. You do so well loving on your people!
ReplyDeleteI can imagine after being hurt opening your heart back up again does seem like a big risk.
ReplyDeleteI do like a Twix bar. I like to dip them in a cup of tea.
I think when you're single, everything feels like a bigger risk. Or at least, that's how I felt. I also love Twix, but I would pick the sweet over savory all the time!
