Chocolate and beating the blues

Sometimes we just feel like the most worthless hunk of flesh on the planet. Just about everyone seems to go a little wonky at this tentative no-longer-winter-but-not-quite-spring turning point in the seasonal wheel. Everything in our lives seems all wrong, we feel there is nothing to look forward to any longer, perhaps bad choices were made and we wonder how exactly we got on this go-nowhere road. Maybe it's just me.

Now I'm not a huge fan of sweets but times like these call for one thing and one thing only: chocolate! (Or, in my unusual case: alcohol, since I only crave sweet when I am majorly PMSing)

Right now I really dig dark chocolate as it's not as sickeningly sweet as regular packed chock-full of sugar milk-chocolate types. One brand in particular that is delicious is Green and Black's organic chocolate. There is quite a variety of amazingly delish treats to choose from, but my personal fave is the Maya Gold. Its name suggests exotic exploration, transporting you back into a more simple time, leading you to wonder what 21st century America would be like, had the majestic society not mysteriously vanished.
