Life's a box of chocolates, Forrest. You never know what you're gonna get. Mrs. Gump
Winston Groom’s Forrest Gump became a beloved book and movie, but Forrest Gump just sort of fell into good fortune. He seemed to be in the right place at the right time.
Mrs. Gump’s wisdom is hard to argue with since we don’t know what will come our way. We can strive to craft the story of our lives with goals and objectives, but there is little security here.
However, there is to me one constant and that is love. Fleeting, lost, puppy, enduring, tumultuous, volatile, lustful, impulsive, friendship, romantic—there are as many kinds of love as a big box of chocolates.
It’s up to us to give and keep love in our lives. Happy Valentine’s Day!

So true.. You inspire me.
My partner of 28yrs and I agree--LOVE, what else truly matters?
Amen sister. Without love we are empty vessels.
