HOT CHOCOLATE.........Food for thought

A group of graduates, well established in their careers, were talking
at a reunion and decided to go visit their old university professor,
now retired.

During their visit, the conversation turned to complaints about stress
in their work and lives. Offering his guests hot chocolate, the
professor went into the kitchen and returned with a large pot of hot
chocolate and an assortment of cups - porcelain, glass, crystal, some
plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help
themselves to the hot chocolate.

When they all had a cup of hot chocolate in hand, the professor said:
"Notice that all the nice looking, expensive cups were taken, leaving
behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want
only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and
stress.

The cup that you're drinking from adds nothing to the quality of the
hot chocolate. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some
cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was hot chocolate, not the cup; but you consciously went for the best cups... And then
you began eyeing each other's cups.

Now consider this: Life is the hot chocolate; your job, money and
position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and
contain life.
The cup you have does not define, nor change the quality of life you
have. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy
the hot chocolate God has provided us.

God makes the hot chocolate, man chooses the cups. The happiest people
don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything that they have.
Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly.
And enjoy your hot chocolate!"
 
I looooooooooooooooooooooove Hot Chocolate....even more than Green Tea! :D
 
mmmm you've made me want an aero bubbles now lol
 
Try a hot vanilla shake mixed (in a blender) with half a choccy tetra...you will never want another Aero! :)
 
ahh i dont have any shakes except bana and strawberry til i go on friday lol
 
It's gorgeous...thick, bubbly and has a nice malt chocolatey taste. Also if you add a little cinnamon (great appetite suppressant!) and/or a little grated nutmeg...you will think you are in heaven! :D

Nope, you can store in the fridge for 2 or 3 days and use again! :)
