I know, I know, where have I been??

It's been a few months and your probably wondering what's up. Where have I been? Let's see...should I blame it on life??? or love??? or chocolate??? (Nah, chocolate's never to blame!)

The simple fact is I write at no specific time and for no specific reason. I know...I'm deep..lol. When I started blogging it was for simple enjoyment, and if I ever stop (as if I'll stop talking), it will be because the enjoyment is gone.

Life has plenty of responsibilities and timelines. What do I have to do? When do I have to do it by? Who do I need it for? Yes, life has plenty of responsibility, but you know what...I'm ok with that. I like making my way and helping others. I want people to know they can depend on me.  Who wants to live a life of seclusion and die alone with no one missing you.

Love is a total package. It can make you happy, vulnerable, strong, hopeful, afraid, wonderful and the list goes on. Though I have never been blessed to have someone fall in love with me, I have been loved as a daughter, granddaughter, sister, auntie, friend and more and more. Love of any kind is a risk. Yeah I said it, it's a risk. But the thing is, it's also the thing that dishes out the biggest reward. To love and be loved...it's is beyond words!

Chocolate....I cooked these triple chocolate chunk brownies the other week!!! I'm talking so good you were eyeballing another before you finished the first. I mean they were so delicious....wait a minute, I'm getting sidetracked here...

So the moral of my ranting is this. Do something just because it's brings enjoyment. When kids are grown they often remember things like Dad playing catch or Mom letting them lick the frosting from the beater more fondly than toys or games. Jump in a take a relaxing bubble bath (I even give you permission to break out your rubber ducky...I won't tell). Get together with friends over a batch of brownies. (Did I mention the brownies I cooked a couple weeks ago! They were so good....oops there I go again.)

Live your life. Cherish love. Eat some chocolate and enjoy!
