Nostalgic Candy Brings A Moment

Nostalgic candy can take you back in time with one bite. It can even be the smell of the treat that reminds us sweet moments in life. Each generation has their own types of candy that they can relate to. When I was little I remember riding my bike to a neighborhood mom and pop store to get penny candy. Yes, that is penny candy! 1 cent...(those days are almost long gone)

Getting a quarter meant you could eat candy all day. Some of my favorites were the chocolate "ICE CUBE" squares that melted in your mouth as you closed your mouth. Smooth chocolate~ It has a reference of a polar bear on it. I guess because it is such a cool chocolate to eat. : ) There was also the wonderful licorice rolls. The ones that came in several individual rolls of tape looking packages. That was great! I was buying it here in the states and then they stopped importing it. It comes from Denmark. However, I did see something recently about how I can order some again. Yeah me~! The memories start flooding back of my sisters and I watching out for traffic, crossing the street to get to the store, looking around inside at all of the candy as if it was pure gold, huddling outside the store after our purchase to divide the candy between us, and smiling all the way home with my candy. While chewing a mouthful for sure!


I am not encouraging you to run and get a big sack of candy to eat. I am just encouraging you to find some of the candy you liked in the past. While researching I came across several online stores that you can order from. There are many and I encourage you to find what you like best. It can just be fun to be a kid again for that moment.

Be smart about your candy intake. Enjoy life in all kinds of ways. The tiny things amount to a much larger moment than one big one. Have a tiny bit of nostalgia for yourself. It can be kinda fun. Now I am off to get some myself. The thin string red licorice is one of my top favorites. Oh, remember the Marathon Bar? The one that was a ruler size long? It was the best caramel and chocolate combo ever! Cadbury has that and it is called "Curly Wurly." Love it!

If you do not eat candy find something from your past that was good as a child and jump in!

Pandora Radio Gets A Laugh

All over the Internet people are laughing. Gossip is traveling at warp-speed-stream! People are running to Pandora Radio to see what the fuss on the bus is about. I got caught up in the hype and went to see myself. I found myself laughing along with everyone else...

They added a tool for us to keep light at heart. It is the addition of comedy online radio. I use Pandora quite often. The ability to have a stationed designed for your personal preferences is a delightful gift. You search an artist or song and "bam" there it is! A whole station is made for you and your listening pleasure. ahh~...

The freaky thing is they got it right! Every song you loved from the past and present are not forgotten. They let you know that Pandora took care of you while you were away. So they give you this memory box and allow you to add to it anytime. With the addition of comedy to the selections it is going to cause a lot of people to start buying more Depends. (The adult diaper that I am not looking forward to using one day. However, I will be grateful not to have to wet myself.) Maybe not that bad but, almost...

Ode To Pandora Radio: I thank you for allowing me to relax while listening to your platform and its ability to serve my wants and needs. I thank you for allowing me to turn up the speakers and dance around my kitchen while I clean. You have been a part of so many various emotional states with my choices of music at that moment. I am so glad that you want to hear me laugh in life and added this tool for me to do so...

Keep laughter in your soul wherever go you. Allow yourself times to just laugh. You will be amazed at what it can do for your mind and body.  For more information about Pandora Radio (free) http://www.pandora.com/corporate/
