I'm sure everyone has heard this... (Repost 12/10/2008)

"Mama always said life was like a box a chocolates, never know what you're gonna get."
- Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks)

I just got a box of chocolates from a friend. It never fails that anytime I get a box of chocolates, I always think of the movie Forrest Gump and that line. I pulled a chocolate out without looking at the card that told me what was in there. I took a bite and it was a caramel-y chewing chocolate, I had been hoping for a dark chocolate something or another. As I ate my caramel chocolate, I pondered that line from Forrest Gump. Life *is* indeed full of surprises - some not so good ones and some good ones, but we should be thankful that we are alive...life is a precious gift.
