Taffy

When life gets you down, indulge in a large bowl of New England salt water taffy.  It doesn't make your problems disappear but it does make you feel a whole lot better if only momentarily.

I had planned to write quite a cynical and negative post today.  Usually I write straight onto the blog but today I wrote into a word document with the idea of copying and pasting it over.  Well, the computer crashed and I lost everything.  Negative thoughts acknowledged and lost to the ether.  A good job really as I don't really want to alienate the few visitors I have left!

Suffice to say that the post was going to be about volunteering and how I seem to have done a turnaround in my attitude to the whole volunteering industry.  I will just leave it at that.  For now.

  1. Maybe writing out your thoughts first is the answer! Although you don't say whether you still feel the same about volunteering? I enjoy my weekly visits to an elderly lady who is partially sighted and I find that I get as much out of volunteering to visit her as she says she does out of my visits so it's a win win situation. Perhaps volunteering in some other capacity might suit you better? Don't eat too much of the taffy though or you may have a different problem to contend with!!

  2. I have never had New England salt water taffy, it does look good and obviously just the distraction you need today Simone. They say a little of what you fancy does you good!

  4. I've never seen or heard of salt water taffy before! Sometimes writing things down does help to get those niggles out of your system, I hate it when things get lost in the ether especially when I'm commenting on a blog and it gets lost which happens occasionally:)

  5. I have never tried saltwater taffy but I would certainly like to! It looks lovely in your photo. Writing your feelings down is a good way to feel better if you are stressed.....maybe do it more?? Hope you have a happy week, Simone.

  6. Saltwater Taffy is something I always buy lots of when I visit New England - I'm hoping they sell it in the Southern States as well so I can stock up when I go in November:)
