Life is … A Box of Chocolates
Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get…
I loved this from Forrest Gump. It was a great day, even despite the horrendous rash that has taken over my body; we drove to Breckenridge, took a little stroll in the snow, and stopped by for lunch at Bubba Gump. You know the shrimp company in the movie. Delicious!
It took me about 10 minutes to figure the theme out and why the restaurant was called Bubba Gump, but I eventually did, and we had a good laugh. I guess a lot of us here are thinking that we got a pretty nasty box of chocolates…pulling out one nasty tasting chocolate after another…Yuck!
I’d like to think that even if it’s nasty tasting…there is still a sweetness to it, like for instance, the chocolate covering. So, I savor the chocolate coating and just spit out the rest. At times, it can be difficult, but I will choose this over consuming the bitter taste and keeping it inside me and let the nastiness take over.
Ha, Ha. A spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down. This is something I will always remember from my dad and my two best friends. May they rest in peace.
