This afternoon, as usual, I went to the coffee shop to pick up leftovers for the soup kitchen. The girl who was working is still in high school, and she said she had to write a short story, but she was having trouble coming up with a central character. I gave her some brainstorming ideas that I sometimes use (though I rarely write fiction). The particular suggestion I gave her was to open a thesaurus, choose five words randomly and then write a character around those words. 

I clicked on the Animal Rescue site, just... well, because I remembered to :) 

I still felt a little dazed today, though yesterday's conversation has "settled in" a bit. I feel good about it - glad that it happened, and optimistic about where it could lead.

Hope you all had a good Wednesday. Cheers!

you have a real knack for sussing out what people need at the moment and figuring out a way to help address that need. that's a cool tip! i'll have to file that away for future reference ;-)  i'm glad you're feeling good about yesterday's conversation...i wish you the best possible outcome in regards to that. Hugs, Dawn xoxo
