"The Balance"

It was a bright and crisp summers morning. The sun was beating down on us, although it was still only about 9 ℃. But being in Scotland, you don't expect much more.
We strolled past the meadows, the sunglight dancing though the trees. Eventually we approached a quaint road lined with all sorts of wonderful shops ( and restaurants of course - the most exciting part ). From afar, this one shop in particular caught my attention. It was small and dull brown but it was the golden letters that struck me: "The Chocolate Tree". After that day I'd realised what good chocolate was.
You can probably tell I'm a massive chocolate lover, and I go around to all the chocolates, buy their chocolate and compare them ( is that sad? ). And I have to admit the chocolate tree was my favourite. It had a whole new depth and so much complexity, it's crazy to think that chocolate can taste so different. So when I had the opportunity to do a collaboration with them, it was so exciting.
One of the chocolates I got sent was their bean to bar range, "Rum, Pineapple and Coconut", and wow it is so good. I'm trying to limit myself to a square a night to make it last but i'm not sure its going to great. Is there actually any left...
But my 'slight' obsession got me thinking, while this chocolate is a treat and a luxury it's also part of a healthy diet.
Everything in moderation is the key. I think I even heard that milk chocolate can be healthy in small quantities, but don't take my word on it. If you take everything in balance to each other you'll find yourself being much healthier and and therefore happier with yourself.
"Happy Mind, Happy Body"
You'll feel more confident which is a key to a lot of things. Friendship, jobs, success and happiness.
Also who's excited for October!
P.S- I just realised I put an 'S' on the end of 'Mind'!!
