I like the bags of Dove chocolates, which are wrapped in foil with a little message on the inside. On a whim, I bought a bag of the new peanut butter-filled Dove milk chocolates. The messages are a bit different from the other ones I've seen, many of which ran to things like "It's definitely a bubble bath day!" or "You know what? You look good in red." The new batch in the peanut butter variety's wrappers are a bit more philosophical. Here are some that I saw today:
- Seize the day.
- Listen to the wind.
- Share a kind word.
- Protect your solitude. Turn off your ringer.
- It's okay to live without a "big picture" in mind.
- Be an optimist.
- Remind yourself that it's okay not to be perfect.
- Express your gratitude to those you love.
- Hug a friend today.
- Chocolate is love shared between friends.
If everybody did those things, it would be a nicer world, wouldn't it?
And the peanut butter-filled Dove chocolates are just the kind to share with a friend. You might even get a hug, which would be good for a two-fer.
