Just
the mention of the endearing word 'chocolate' sneaks an impulsive
grin to my face as I happily reminisce of the many wonderful moments
this sweet gold and I have shared over my lifetime.
Not
only have all sorts of delicious variations of chocolate added to the
joy of my birthdays, Christmases, Easters and other significant
celebrations over many years, but it has been my truest, most
trustworthy companion and continues to be so.
I
adore chocolate of any description. It's comforted me through
confusing and difficult challenges. It's assisted greatly with
decision making processes, and it's proven to be a nice, little
reward at the end of a hard-working day, providing a few moments of
pleasurable 'me time'.
This
divine, melting sweetness offers immediate energy when afternoon
slumps arrive and it somehow makes movies so much more enjoyable to
watch, while slouched on the couch in the evenings as productive days
draw to a close. The most amazing surprise is when I find hidden
chocolate in my home I don't remember stashing. That block tastes
extra good!
My
body instantly recognises the familiar, sugary, heavenly sensations
through aroma, texture and taste, as the chocolate melts and slowly
seeps soothingly into my body, meandering through my entire being to
gift me with instant joyful, warm gratification – emotional and
physical bliss!
Yes,
it's fair to say, chocolate of any kind has always and will always
make my world a beautiful place ...
