6. How is your life different today than it was a year ago? (Keep it positve and it can be small or large) 

I have a bit of direction in my life. This time last year I was struggling with a knee injury that prevented me from working in a job I loved and cornered me into attending uni. And now this year I know properly that I don't have to go to uni and I'm working again in a different job (same industry) and it's just not how I expected things to work out at all

Being active

I'm not new the community, I've been here a while, just haven't really been involved for a long time! Thought this would be a good stepping stone to spend some more time here! I really enjoyed reading everyone elses posts

1. How'd you find us?

Yonks and yonks ago, I do believe it was a google search one desperate night about 4 years ago

2. What's the last nice thing you did for someone? 

I do loads of nice things for my customers everyday, from putting their groceries in their trolleys, sharing a funny story, listening to their frustrations and wishing them well in their travels. Outside of work, I was patient with an elderly lady who was in the same hospital ward as my mum. She thought I was a nurse because of my uniform colour, and I helped her make a bit of sense to her situation. The poor lady had dementia! 

3. What's your special talent/party trick?

I have a special talent of making a fool of myself, of laughing at inappropriate times, of laughing at myself. Or laughing so hard at something I find hilarious, but obviously not funny enough for others to laugh... lol

4. Do you like summer or winter? What's your favourite thing to do then?

I'm probably more an autumn/spring person than summer or winter. I love experimenting with layers and wearing jumpers with short skirts and shorts  (Just to be the unique one)

I don't really know what I'm looking forward to right now. Lets say Graduation at the end of the year? I'll then be Dip trained in childcare

I have ReachOut.com saved as a bookmark on Chrome. I decided to click on it tonight. 

2. What's the last nice thing you did for someone? 

I did not take the bait when my mum started to tell me off. I could have chosen to reply to her with my own insults. I decided instead no one within hearing distance have to bear witness to another mother-daughter cat fight tonight. So I stayed silent when my mother keep having a go at me. 

3. What's your special talent/party trick?

I enter the party and exclaimed "The fun has arrived!"

Summer. Be out in the open, under the sun and get some needed vit D.

My next pay cheque

Letting my dog lick my toes

I follow the Reach Out Facebook page! There are some great photos on there, always puts a smile on my face.

Emotional support. I am always available to anyone who needs a shoulder. That's why I've joined reach out.com, to hopefully learn more, meet people, and help people.

Winter! There's nothing like wearing a warm winter coat or curling up on my couch with a big fluffy blanket and a bowl of popcorn during winter. Ohhh and winter food - soooo good!

Uni restarting in March! Can't wait to get into my final year of uni.

6. How is your life different today than it was a year ago? (Keep it positve and it can be small or large)
My life is extremely different. Just over a year ago, I met the love of my life who has taught me so much about living. The most important lesson he has taught me is to notice the beauty around you, especially in nature. I never looked at a tree and noticed its beauty and appreciated its age until I met him. So simple yet makes such an impact.

7. Number one tip for feeling good?
Notice the positive. There is something positive is EVERY situation. For instance, having a really expensive electricity bill - the positive side is that at least I have electricity, imagine life without it!

8. Who is the last person you said Thank You to??
My partner - I'm always thanking him because he is always helpful.
