One of my favourite quotes is from
Forrest Gump: “My momma always said, "Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna
get."
While
lying in bed last night, looking out at the stars in a very clear sky, and recalling
just such a moment far back in time, I thought - life is also like a box of
cupcakes. You can choose exactly the
kind of topping you want – swirls of excitement, pretty dashes of colour, dark
intensity, luxurious extravagance, frills and sparkle…
Whatever
you choose, space out those bites and take time to savour each one very slowly... and maybe even pass up a topping or two every once in a while. I once
took a bite too large and wondered if I’d ever recover from the agonising ache of
having indulged too much in something too sweet, too intense…
