more chocolate wisdom

Earlier, I had logged in several words of wisdom, found on the inner foil of some delectable dark chocolate. Here, I continue wandering along that path.
"Joy is found in the smallest of moments. Like now!" Ashley, Sumter, SC A "moment" is so much nicer than just a "block of time"!
"Chocolate-coated truth tastes better." Amy, Shawnee, KS Don't believe me? See the previous paragraph!
"Silence might be golden, but laughter is priceless." Aubrey, Mesa, AZ Bonus: good, hearty laughter releases endorphins, making you FEEL better. True!
"Walk with a light step and a lighter heart." Fontana, Winter Springs, FL Worry is such a heavy package to lug around, and it's usually awkwardly shaped, too and difficult to hold, like invisible trees.
"Even small celebrations deserve a dance." Laureli, Spring Grove, PA Snoopy certainly knew this, even dancing when he got his supper - that someone else made especially for him. That is certainly worth a celebratory jig!
"Celebrate the small victories in your life." Debbie, Fairfield, OH Yes,indeed! Like that wonderful parking space right THERE!
"Do something for someone less fortunate today." Lori, Cheboygan, MI Done solely for the benefit of one's own heart, this is a real pick-me-upper AND reaffirms your sense of place in the world.
"A smile is the best accessory." Emily, New York, NY A smile is something that cannot be taken from you, either, or misplaced. And the most wonderful part? When you GIVE a smile, you GET one back!
"Try something new today." Paula, Rio Rancho, NM Even if it's just a new path home from work, expand your experiences!
"Keep looking forward - new adventures lie ahead." Becky, Valdosta, GA No sense dwelling on the past and missing the present - there's no future in that way of living!
"Inspire others to be their best by being your best." Christina, New York, NY yeah, I know, this is sometimes easier said than done... but keep trying!
"Promise to stop and smell the chocolate." Marie, Manahawkin, NJ Or the roses or the petunias or whatever lovely scent wafts in your direction... Aaahhhh!
"Dare to dream and go for it." Patricia, Jasper, TN No one can foretell the future, but most people say it's the decisions they didn't make that they regret. Don't leave room for regret!
"Life does have do-overs." Sharon, St. Joseph, MO As long as you are still on this planet, you do have the opportunity to rectify any wrongs. No, you cannot erase the past, but you CAN alter your present path.
"All things work together in the tapestry of life." Christine, Durham, NC Amen to that! The good, the bad, and the ugly are all part of the package as we spiritual beings have our physical experiences on this third rock from our sun.
