New beginnings

I decided to turn a new page in my life, so to speak. I think it was time and with me changing jobs seemed like a good option.
We have moved to http://lifeandotheroccurrences.weebly.com. From now on you will be able to tune in from there.
Thank you very much for your time. We appreciate it.

Better eating issue

Lately I have been trying to improve my diet and attempting to eat better thus I have been trying many new and healthy recipes. So it is only logical that I would like to share it with you. 
To beginn this new series I shall start with quinoa porridge. Quinoa is considered a "super grain" and has been discovered by the Incas around 4 thousand years ago. It is one of the biggest protein providers in the world containing many essential amino-acids. It has up to double the amount of fiber compared to other grains, which has a favorable effect one cholesterol, blood pressure, heard disease and diabetes. It is also rich in iron, lysine, B2 and magnesium. So overall great to be integrated into ones diet.

In order to make the porridge you will need:
- 1 cup almond/rice or regular milk
- 1/3 cup quinoa grains 
- 1 apple (graded) 
- dried fruits of your choice
- 1 tbl spoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 t spoon cinnamon 
- 1/4 t spoon ground nutmeg 
- some almond flakes (garnish)
- some maple sirup

What to do:
First soak the quinoa in some cold water for 15 min. to accelerate the cooking process. Grade an apple and sprinkle it with some lemon juice to prevent blackening and set aside. Chop up the dried fruits. Today I have used dried apricots. 
Boil the milk and add the drained quinoa stirring frequently. When quinoa is nearly done, add the other ingredients and cook together for another minute or so.
Let it cool for a few minutes, sprinkle with almond flakes and some maple sirup and enjoy.

Life and other things

So life - that big thing surrounding us... Am I the only one finding it complicated? Am I the only one wishing there was a manual to it? What is the right decision? What am I supposed to do? Just relying on a hunch sometimes doesn't seem enough. And as if the uncertainly wasn't enough it usually goes together with fear. The fear to make wrong decision, the wrong choice. What if I screw up? What if the choice is wrong? Will I be able to fix it afterwards? What if I won't be any good? What if I'll fail?
I guess in the end I'd just have to try and if it doesn't work just try and try again... 
Recently I was reading this article about Generation Y and how we all think that we are special, thus having great expectations and should those not be me met making us up satisfied with our life. 
So how am I supposed to use this knowledge in order to cope with my situation? I'm guessing I'd have to wait and see...
