Today's happiness -- A day at the zoo. My cousin Rose and I went to
Brookfield Zoo, walking distance from where I grew up, and a staple in my summers as a kid. We spent about 10 hours together -- which was about 1 hour too long because at dinner we did start to get on one another's nerves -- but it was by and large a very good day. Okapis, giraffes, penguins, primates, lions and tigers and a rhino. I learned a lot (most especially that I should
avoid palm oil for the sake of the rainforests and orangutans) and thoroughly enjoyed a day that, frankly, I'd been kinda dreading. My cousin has always loved me very much, and I get much warmth and comfort from it.
Good tip on the palm oil. I had no idea.
ReplyDeleteI find, when I have to spend time with people, it's far better to do so while you're doing something else. Especially people that tend to get on your nerves after awhile :)
