I guess this blog is not going to write it self, so I have to get on with it.
The easiest thing for me to do here is to share my poem I wrote and posted on fb today, that is what my ‘Poem a day is about’
#33 Lent
I have sworn myself off chocolate
It had to be done
My day was punctuated with this sugary fun
I can say I feel better
Although I feel I am betraying
My chocolate mate
It has seen me through many situations
Its listened to me late at night
Its been able to comfort me with just one bite
I have turned my back on chocolate
The guilt cuts deep
The only time I can indulge in chocolate
Is when I am fast asleep
I think its only right at this stage I should declare my sources of help, although the work is all my own, the title was suggested by my youngest daughter as, the reason I even considered giving up chocolate was because my eldest daughter announced she was giving up chocolate for Lent, it seemed like a good idea at the time. I have now got use to not having chocolate, I don’t think about it or crave it any more. Although I have the additional recently acquired knowledge that chocolate is not actually addictive. Although I know in the past I have craved it, maybe it was sugar I was craving which as we know is addictive and is everywhere. Like horse DNA apparently,
Well back to chocolate which isn't addictive they carried out scientific experiments where probes was attached to the subjects head and she was fed chocolate through a straw hmmm heavenly and then she was shown pictures of chocolates and the same parts in her brain lit up, so there you go chocolate not addictive.
I think I’ll just go downstairs and stare at some chocolate …..................
