Leap of Faith

When an idea or thought starts circulating my mind, I become obsessed with it, I think day & night about it, even in my sleep I dream about it. I over-analyse, think and "kill" the idea in a vain attempt to reach a satisfying solution or answer I am comfortable with; but these are neither guaranteed nor always possible.
I consult friends, read books, google it and sleep on it for days, weeks or even months! I know that this is a human trait, that most people go through such a phase at some point of their lives, some choose their mind battles and only do this process for "big" decision, while some are less fortunate and do this as part of their daily routine. I fall in the later category. Every single decision I take goes through this process, of course not all consume the same amount of time. It's my character, what defines me, what makes me who I am or maybe just because I am an Aries:)



But sometimes all we need to do is take a leap of faith, follow our gut feeling; that inside undeniable strong emotion that drives us into directions we fear treading. So we jump and hope for the best.

ON THE MOVE

How is it that 3 weeks have passed but just feel like 3 days... I started this blog with every intention to publish a minimum of 3 recipes per month and hopefully even 4; yet it seems so difficult to sustain that promise. And here I am, 21 days after my New Year's post and just sharing my next one.

In my defense I have the perfect excuse, I am moving from my current flat to a new one. That decision was a spur of a moment, after new years' day and soon turned into solid steps. Apartments' scouting, checking one place after the other for that perfect match of an already finished home & ready to move in to without any make overs; yet having a budget limit to factor. Some places looked like a animals were inhabiting it while others were merely ordinary. However we managed to find that one place that has all I can ask for under one roof; all except for the snow {sniff}.

HAPPY NEW YEAR


 

“The only constant in life is Change” ~ Heraclitus



As we embrace the new year; we write down new resolutions, we vow things would be different next yea; that we won't take that long dreamed of trip, change that job we dislike, re-paint the kitchen or even move to another country... we plan a new chapter in out lives and have every and are adamant to follow it. And in the midst of all this, we turn our heads to look for that food that makes us feel better about what we have just planned, that makes all this worthwhile.
