The only things that are better when we wait for them are the things we don’t particularly want like birthdays at my age. You couldn’t possibly say chocolate is better for the waiting….it’s just not true. chocolate is always the same steadfast friend you left 5 minutes ago. Actually you and I have the same date for Valentine’s Day. I didn’t procrastinate that decision. Courage, conviction, compassion eh, Well, I’ll fight anyone who touches my chocolate, Hmmm, perhaps we’ll come back to convictions another time but compassion, surely that can’t be doubted. I’ve expressed my love for chocolate and I would rush to the aid of any injured bar I saw, albeit in another’s hands. That’s truly compassion is it not.
You are still the same wonderful and supremely funny lady as ever.
