CHOCOLATE

Man cannot live on chocolate alone; but woman sure can. Among life's mysteries is how a two pound box of chocolate can make a woman gain five pounds. Forget love -- I'd rather fall in chocolate!!! Chocolate is nature?s way of making up for Mondays. Stress wouldn?t be so hard to take if it were chocolate covered. Eat a square meal a day - a box of chocolate. Other things are just food. But chocolate's chocolate. Chocolate causes certain endocrine glands to secrete hormones that affect your feelings and behavior by making you happy. Therefore, it counteracts depression, in turn reducing the stress of depression. Your stress-free life helps you maintain a youthful disposition, both physically and mentally. So, eat lots of chocolate. Strength is the capacity to break a chocolate bar into four pieces with your bare hands - and then eat just one of the pieces. A little too much chocolate is just about right. In the cookies of life, friends are the chocolate chips. There?s more to life than chocolate, but not right now. Chocolate is cheaper than therapy and you don't need an appointment. Nuts just take up space where chocolate ought to be.

There was another article in today`s paper about dark chocolate being good for heart disease AND diabetes (Does that mean I should have double rations???) Anyway - ever mindful of what`s good for me, I stocked up today - on Bendicks 72% dark chocolate! Plus a few bars of different ones I haven`t tried before. Hard to believe, but there ARE still some I haven`t tried!!!
