Many days here end with a square of Dove Chocolate. The wrappers in them have words of little wisdom, but I read them, anyhow.

Last night’s was Life without chocolate is too terrible to contemplate. Rather like the old ad A day without orange juice is like a day without sunshine. Or Socrates’ The unexamined life is not worth living.

My thoughts: life could still be good without chocolate, though probably not as sweet for the stockholders in Dove Chocolates. Life is completely fine without orange juice and the accompanying sugar rush, and we can get by with marginal sunshine, being part bookworm and part hobbit. But, the unexamined life? Ack! Where would that leave bloggers?

Things I hate to go a day without:

* saving knowledge of Christ

* prayer

* water

* my family

* books

* some quiet time

* chocolate

* something that makes me feel competent

* something funny

* something to think about
