Chocolate...

"Life is like a box of chocolates ... You never know what you're gonna get." 
Who doesn't recognize this line from Forrest Gump? You can even hear Tom Hanks explaining that on the bench and boy, was he right??? 
Here are some people, who could express better than me just how a special place chocolate has in my life.

Somewhere up in the top of Togo during our hike we came across a cocoa fruit...

“The 12-step chocolate program: NEVER BE MORE THAN 12 STEPS AWAY FROM CHOCOLATE!”  (Terry Moore)

"A little chocolate is like a love affair - an occasional sweet release that lightens the spirit. A lot of chocolate is like marriage - it seems so good at first but before you know it you've got chunky hips and a waddle-walk." (Linda Solegato)

Doing a "brain surgery" is kinda fun!

"God gave the angels wings, and he gave humans chocolate." (Anonymous)

Behold, the deadly poisonous cocoa seeds before they turn into this godly gift.
