Life is like a box of chocolates

I visit a scrapbook website where they give blog challenges. I thought this would be a good way to help make my blog a little mopre interesting (and have a few more visitors LOL)

So "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get" as said by Forrest Gump to his Mother. She also said it sometime in the movie but I don't know where.

For me this little quote conjurs up the feelings of unexpected happenings through life. I love challenges and being thrown a curve ball and have had many times recently when this has happened. As a family we have moved overseas a couple of times and thrived on the unexpected. While in the States I got pregnant when we had almost given up on the idea of another child. Then we get thrown another curve ball when I got quite sick and Isaac had to be delivered 9 weeks early. As hard as this was we got through it and the chocolate was sweeter because of it, we made some ownderful friends with nurses and Drs and the sweetness will continue. Enjoy the unexpected, you don't need a list of what the chocolates are take and one and enjoy the unexpected.

Waffle, waffle, waffle LOL

Yvette found your blog while looking at the sbo message board. Life certainly does throw curve balls and I often reckon its lifes way of teaching us some kind of lesson. Sometimes its hard to work out what the lesson is and like you said there is always a sweeter side.
