Life is like a box of chocolates?

In Forrest Gump, the mother played a great role in educating her son.

She would say

"Forrest, life is like a box of chocolates...you never know what you're gonna get."

In that simple phrase there is great wisdom...

it's true...

whether it's fate , or chance , or mistakes , or divine guidance, it's hard to know what one's life is going to hold in store.

One turning, one accident, one chance encounter...all those simple acts can create ripples of reaction not only in one's life but in many others, , like pebbles dropped into a quiet pond.

So it was with her life...

so many small details made the difference for the whole.

There was no way of knowing exactly what would happen...but she kept a diary and out of that grew her books which would some day deck the shelves of some bookshop.

BUT for now she was content to live her life in the shadows...no one could see what she was doing, copy her, mimick her...she could be alone with her thoughts as she composed her

tomes......
