Box of Chocolates

Ups and downs and give and take...

This quote taken from the Valentine's card from my hubby. Yep it happens in marriage and life.

And so it goes this life on earth. I posted on Facebook last night the famous quote from Forrest Gump; 
"Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you are going to get."  Ups and downs, hills and valleys, disappointment and joy...

Maybe you have bitten into a delectable looking chocolate and then realize you landed the orange cream one.  Blah! My face scrunches up thinking about it!  My boys used to squish the little chocolates before mouth entry to make sure it wasn't a dreaded cream one!  It was a great thing when Russell Stover started labeling the cover of the boxes with corresponding flavors.  This was not fool proof either as there had to be rules followed with this...leave the wrappers in place after eating to save the spot and do not tip, shake or bump the box!  

You never know what you are going to get. And to think we think we can control this thing called life when we can't even control our chocolates! 

I have so many topics I want to cover in my blog. It's all over the place. Maybe that makes it interesting. 
There has been a strong tugging on my heart to start sharing with you my Lyme journey. I think I will sit down and figure out a strategy for this. Too much is too much information. And yet, I so want to help others.  My original title a year ago for my blog was Blessed by Lyme!  So, stay tuned...

Will someone let me know if they are doing the 40 bags in 40 days besides my girlfriend that is selling everything in her house on eBay except the kitchen sink? You go girl!  
I need some motivation from all of you.  I see in my calendar that I should be on bag 19 today and have only done 8 officially.  Time to get back to work. I started a book about Minimalist Wardrobe and I about had a stroke!  That is taking it too close to my bling!  hehe

Ok, better go and get beautified for my date tonight. 

Looking forward to hearing from you!
Enjoy your chocolates...even the camouflaged ones...nuggets with nougat instead of caramel....
 
Blessings,
Amy
