Chocolate! (Sigh!)

I love a good chocolate ice cream. My current favorite is the Publix store brand Chocolate Fudgy Brownie, a decadent dark chocolate ice cream with brownie bits.

Chocolate cereal. I like Cocoa Wheats hot cereal, and many of the chocolate cold cereals. I feel less naughty snacking on a chocolate cereal than a chocolate dessert.

A high quality chocolate candy. There is a local chocolatier near where my sister lives, and their stuff is so delicious. I also like Laderach chocolate (my sister buys that brand for holidays). But even a decent quality grocery store chocolate, like Ghirardelli, Godiva, or Russell Stover will set my mouth to watering.

What resort do you search for hidden Mickey and if Disneyland which Mickey is your favorite

We search for Hidden Mickey’s everywhere at WDW. My daughter especially loves finding them and has since her early trips in the 90’s.

Love my Fudge frozen yogurts pops

Ghirardelli 72 Dark Chocolate squares

When in a restaurant, (a rare occurrence), I have occasionally indulged in chocolate cake. A local place has a delicious flourless one, served with vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup that is so yummy.

Since I’m headed to the gym soon to workout my body I’ll focus on that….

#1 - Strong Abs - Gives me good balance, stability and posture

Chocolate things:
I'm not a chocolate fan so this is a little challenging. However, I do like chocolate shakes or malts, white chocolate Lindt balls, and chocolate bitters in my Old Fashioned.

My body:
I heal quickly from surgery.
I'm not aging as quickly as my peers seem to be aging.
Overall, I'm healthy for my age: No blood sugar or blood pressure concerns, no chronic medical issues that need medication-management, etc. The two surgeries I've had recently were mostly elective although both supported my overall well-being. Ageism is real, though; it's actually a little insulting when I go to walk in care and there are no "daily meds" on my intake form. They'll ask if I'm sure, perhaps it might be called something like X, Y, or Z? and I'm like nope, nothing. Sometimes they ask "are you sure" again. I get it, I get that they see folks whose health is failing and they don't understand/remember, but jeez, it can be annoying.

My super thick hair even after having gone through menopause I still have thick hair not as thick as it used to be but it’s still thick I’m very grateful for that granted it has a mind of its own and does what it pleases us and always has I’ve learned to live with that I gave up on it a long time ago and just let it do it thing because it’s gonna do it anyway I don’t even come at most of the time because it just does what it wants to do and you’re thinking your hair must be a wild mess no not really it just falls into place a place that decides it’s going to be and that’s just how it is I mean you could style it if you wanted to but it’s just an hour later gonna fall back the way it wants to be

My tolerance to pain - I have an extremely high tolerance to pain I think that must be something you inherit since it seems to run on my mother side of the family but considering some of the things I’ve had happened to me and had to go through and I had to go through them without pain medication because I’m allergic to most of them I’m very grateful that I have a high tolerance to pain that can also work against you as you can have something wrong with you and not even know it much I’ve had happened to be on a few occasions

Your ability to adapt to endure to overcome to always seek better joy and happiness but most of all the ability to be grateful I am exceptionally happy that I do have the fortitude to be grateful to count my blessings to have empathy to have compassion I’m working on forgiveness that’s a hard one because you must remember that once not for the other person that one’s for yourself and that’s what makes it a hard one because your brain tells you it’s for the other person but it’s not it’s for yourself - but haven’t grown up in an environment or these things were not taught I’m really grateful for everything that I have and I’m very blessed and I’m very grateful that I know these things then I’m able to see and comprehend that I do know these things your mind is a wonderful thing and I’m very grateful that I have friends that sometimes they need to tell me you need to let that go and count your blessings they helped to keep me grounded and I’m grateful I can do that it takes a village
