Chocolates and time-ly truths:

After winning a bet with a brother priest some months ago, I received my reward yesterday: 16 oz of chocolate. This delicious prize consisted of a satisifying supply of Dove chocolate mints. Each of these Dove wrappers offers some thought provoking suggestions for the one enjoying their chocolates. Here are a few of the ones I have read so far:

When you dare to dream, dream big.

Laugh everyday, it's like inner jogging.

Never look back, that's where the shadows are.

Shopping makes everything better.

Create a little controversy.

Life is tough - give yourself a break.

Promise to see the glass as half full.

Someone is thinking of you right now.

A hug is a great gift - one size fits all.

Love comes in small packages.

Every woman is a super (role)model.
