Day Sixteen
GUESS WHAT. JUST GUESS.... What I had for breakfast this morning was... NOPE NOT TOAST! It was bacon! What a change. And it actually rained today! I'm just full of surprises, I guess. After my delicious bacon breakfast, we drove into Totnes to shop around for various things. I looked in a whole bunch of charity shops, as I usually do, but didn't find anything. *insert Thrift Shop tune here*
We were walking around, and my dad spotted a store with a kitten in it! Of course, I HAD to run up and see the cat... and it turns out that it was a place where you could GO IN AND PET KITTENS.... for a donation that was sorta unreasonable. So, we didn't get to go in, sadly. Although I would have paid a lot to go in, my dad thinks differently. Anyway...For lunch, we found a cafe, and I had a chicken caesar salad that was so good. And then I got some ice cream: one scoop of strawberry, and one scoop of coffee. I took a risk getting the scoop of coffee-flavour, but in the end it worked out because it was SO tasty. Glad I took the risk. After walking by the river, me eating my ice cream, we went home. I had Toad in the Hole for tea again, and my dad went out to the kebab shop for his. After tea, I went over to Frances' to pet cats and say goodnight to Jessica. I actually ended up reading a few pages of a story to her while she was in bed. It was really nice, because I could tell how genuinely happy she was. I really do love making people happy. I really really do.
Making people happy is important. You shouldn't do it because you expect something in return, but because you truly want to help someone. People all around you are suffering. I bet one out of two people are in some sort of physical, emotional, or spiritual sad state. Give them a few encouraging words. Help boost their confidence. And maybe, in the future, they will return the favor when you need it most.
No French phrase today... I just really want everyone to reflect on that last paragraph.
