Chocolate

We all know that chocolate produces various effects in people, but tonight I wanted to delve deeper into causes and specifics. I've been reading through multiple online reports, trying to sort out fact from rumor and conjecture. Then I realized, it doesn't really matter what I uncover because I know for certain that, generally speaking, when I consume chocolate, I feel better. Usually much better. And so, tonight, I find myself eating a See's dark chocolate bar with almonds (courtesy of the Reno Emmons family!) while daydreaming about something good. 

It's been cloudy and drizzly the last few days, and although I love this weather, it makes me more introspective and even melancholy at times. Even though I make a point of blogging nearly every day, there's so much that goes unsaid. Lots of factors keep me reigned in -pride and potential embarrassment to name just two- but I'm beginning to wonder if the emotional restraint is impacting the essence of this narrative. Uhhh, I think I'll sign off now before I get too sappy or personal, but stay tuned for more depth. Or breadth. Whichever.
