I decided to try out a new thing this week just for fun.  Cee from Cee’s Photography has a fun thing going on every week where bloggers Share Their World.  Patti from A New Day Dawns has shared her world for quite a while and I thought this week it would be fun to change it up a bit and join in the fun.  Make sure you hop over to Cee’s to see what is going on. Here are the questions Cee poses for week 35.

Have your blogging goals changed?  Absolutely.  When I first started blogging it was basically to keep our family involved in our activities when we lived in Australia.  Then it morphed into an “I like this blogging” kind of thing and a great way to express myself creatively and make some new friendships.  I am going to be launching a new “look” on the blog soon and hopefully will make it look a bit more professional and polished.  Goal now is to try to continue to improve my writing and have an outlet for my thoughts and ideas.

If you were to perform in the circus, what would you do?  I think I would be a lion tamer because–well, you know—I have quite a way with cats.  

If you could go back and talk to yourself at age 18 what advice would you give yourself? Or if you are younger than 25 what words of wisdom would you like to tell yourself at age 45?  I actually wrote a post similar to this a while back where I wrote a letter to my younger self.  The main advice I would give to myself is to relax and enjoy and don’t be so critical of myself and my perceived shortcomings.  It will all work out. (It certainly did. )

What is your favorite comfort snack food? Dark chocolate.  Anything is better with dark chocolate.  Anything.

Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?  Being grateful is very easy when you have had the week that I have had.  I got to be involved in a wonderful, romantic wedding of a couple who are tailor made for one another.  Looking ahead I am very excited to be able to spend some time with my own Mr. Diamond and later on with my mom.  Those times with family are cherished times indeed.

Feel free to leave any answers to the questions in the comment section if you don’t want to do the whole challenge at Cee’s.  Remember our “Cause” for the month is Bridges Mentoring so comment often.
