Candy and Sweet Memories

I can remember all through my life loving to wander in the local candy shops and being transformed into one of the kids from the movie - Willie Wonka and the chocolate factory! 

"I want it now-I want it all now!"

All the smells and brightly colored wrappings. The themes that were posted on each aisle drew you to your favorite section. You were burdened by what delightful delectable you should purchase....

 Oh, there are really too many choices to make!! Do you go for something salty? Sweet? Sour? Something new, like from a different far off land? Or do you stick by the good ole same familiar "yum" you know to be true to your taste buds???!

Then your eyes travel around to the bendy toys that are displayed amongst the sweets. Hmmm, you think...another option! Decisions aren't easy...would I prefer this to candy today? But you cant even think of leaving this place without any oral satisfaction-
Oh the pain of it all sets in. Decisions-decisions. Ugh!! How did life get so complicated.

 Then you spy the giant sucker. Now that would last for days. Deciding to get the biggest colorful candy on a stick-no less and a gumby.....that posable greenish rubber eraser looking guy with appendages...what could be a better choice!! It's a win- win situation! 

 

 Ok, maybe a bag of jelly beans and some chocolate to go with it. All of that seems to be in this display-Hello kitty has it all covered🍬

And if your choices just don't sit right with you after you leave the store...there is always Halloween coming up in about a month! Kids get free candy...and adults can hand it off at the door..but who are we kidding....we 'adults' stash some away for ourselves! Ha, because we are all just big ole kids in grownup clothing!!!
                It's a simple fun aspect in our lives whether old or young we can enjoy. Just give yourself the ok to experience it once in a while. Keep those happy sweet times in your heart!  It will keep you young.
Peace out from the lollipop guild- haha!
