love, Dove

Be the first to hit the dance floor.
Don't settle for a spark...light a fire instead.
Give a little love today.
You have a great laugh!
You should charge for your great advice.
Stir your sense of pleasure.
Someone is thinking of you right now.
Smiling is free.
Love every moment.
Love rules, without rules.
Happiness looks great on you.
You are exactly where you are supposed to be.
Daydreaming is free.
Take a deep breath and exhale.
The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.

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.

chocolate words of wisdom

Lately, I've been enjoying a piece or two of dark chocolate before bed. (Note that I said "before bed" as opposed to "in bed", for those who know my singing bird.)
Anywho, a dear friend here in town introduced me to the joy of Dove Dark Chocolate Promises. At only 41 little calories per glorious piece, they're a nice little treat before bedtime, just a little something to signal the day's end.
One of the perks of this treat is this: there's a little saying on the inside of the wrapper. It's almost like getting a fortune cookie! When I first started eating these fine chocolates about three years ago, the sayings were all supplied by Dove. Not so anymore! At some time between the last bag of chocolates (sadly, a few months have elapsed in my chocolate ingestion!) and the ones purchased just a couple of weeks ago, a big change had occurred. Dove now has sayings from women all over the USA. Well, perhaps I generalize, perhaps not. This far, I have only seen women's names and have only seen cities and states in this part of North America. What a surprise! The bag has nothing to indicate the change in origin of the sayings, not a word. So, either this change occurred long enough ago that it is no longer noteworthy or I have missed something in the fine print.
With no further ado, here are a few of my favorites:
"Dance like no one is watching." Sally, Locke, NY I am a firm believer in the power of dance to free one's soul. As I have said many times, dancing is the most fun you can have with your clothes on!
"Here's to something more powerful than chocolate. Hope." Leah, New York, NY Another one that I live by. If ever I lose hope, that thing with feathers that perches in my soul, then I have truly lost myself.
"Keep moving forward; don't look back." Sally, Griffith, IN You can't do anything about what happened in the past. At worst, you learn from it and move on. At best, you enjoy the memory of a golden time!
"Blessings only come to those who notice." Jean, Houston, TX Tiny little miracles occur every day - EVERY DAY - just waiting for you to look outside yourself and see them. My latest passion is taking pictures of clouds, for every formation is different and unique and never to be repeated.
"When you can't control the wind, adjust your sails." Brenda, Schofield, WI What better way to end a day at the beach?
