Plain or Peanut M&M's?

I like M&M's. I have for as long as I can remember. They are a great candy. Compact, easy to eat and pretty much all you need. I've always liked both versions (for the moment, pretend there are only two versions, the almond, etc. versions are johnny-come-lately) but have been partial to the peanut ones. They were my favorites. My wife has bought them for me for years. Today, I realized that while I still like them I now prefer the plain ones over the peanut.

I don't think the M&M's have changed. I think I have. At first I was a little taken back and was not sure if I should mention it. But I realized that to not mention it was to deny myself a choice and to keep getting peanut ones as gifts. No fun there!

We, as humans, sometimes feel we can not change. Change is bad, right? Nope, not right. Change is just change. It is neither good nor bad. How we view it makes it good or bad and whether we admit it makes it good or bad.

I've never cared for pretzels. Just not my thing. Lately I've been eating them. Salty snack, easy to much on. What I like is that they are not as unhealthy as some snacks but my favorite thing is that Maddie, my beagle, likes them, too. So, when I am watching TV and she is sharing my spot with me I grab some pretzels and we snack together. There is something satisfying about sharing a snack with you dog.

If I'd been afraid to admit that pretzels were not so bad I'd have deprived myself of the experience of sharing time and a snack with my pup. Boy, would that have been a loss for me!

I'm still hot a huge fan of pretzels, but Maddie likes them so we'll keep them around. I'm thinking plain M&M's will go great with them!
