All you really need is love, but a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt. -- Lucy Van Pelt

I'm sure you know how much I love the Peanuts Gang.  I have my favorites (Schroeder & Lucy), but really enjoy all of them.  I was just looking through a devotional that uses thoughts from the Peanuts Cartoon Strip and just had to reflect a little on this quote.

Lucy is my kind of girl.  My sisters used to snidely call me "Lucy" when everyone knew I was much more like Mary Poppins, (practically perfect in every way)!  Calling me Lucy wasn't too much of an insult to me, though, because I loved her so much.

I have spent a blue afternoon reflecting on some things that are making me sad.  When I saw this quote I told myself to snap out of it.  Life does change, sometimes against our will, but who knows what joy is ahead - maybe even chocolate!  :D

I will miss those things that are changing, but the future is always exciting.
