Hot Chocolate and Mini Marshmallows

I've been on a sickness rollar coaster the last few days. At first, I thought it was allergies, but then developed into a cold. Today, I found some solace in a cup of hot chocolate. There was only one thing missing: mini marshmallows. I'm not quite sure what makes hot chocolate so much better with marshmallows, but it does. Perhaps it is just the added sugar, but I'm willing to sacrifice a few calories for a cup of peace. I had to settle for slightly less comfort today, due to my lack of mini marshmallows. I was so torn between the warm sugary sweetness coursing down my throat and straight into my bones it seemed, and yet something was missing: those white clouds of fluffy yummy comfort. Sometimes I feel this way in life: marshmallow-less in a hot chocolate world. Sure, hot chocolate is great. Everyday things are good, warm and delightful. But something about those mini marshmallows makes it oh-so-much better. I want to find those mini marshmallows in my life. I want to find those things that add exactly what I need, what I want to send something good into the the land of greatness. One day, I'm sure I'll find that, but until then, I guess I'll just enjoy my hot chocolate without marshmallows.
