An hour a day

Ideas

Hope

The sun rose again this morning – I never really doubted it would. I fixed and then ate a hearty breakfast with Master – which I’ve gotten to do every morning since I came to work with him, but which wasn’t always true before. I finished my chores by noon – which I do most […]
