It's not a great picture at all as I was trying not to look completely silly taking a picture of my hot chocolate in the middle of Starbucks. Anyway, I decided I really, really needed to take a break from work today; so I took myself off to Starbucks and ordered a hot chocolate with cream. The girl behind the counter was very proud of her work and told me she was an artist. See JaPRA, you can find art in everything you do! It was a lovely half an hour just sipping my hot chocolate and reading my book.
I'm reading First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers by Loung Ung. It is about the Pol Pot regime in Cambodia and the resulting genocide. I am right at the point in the book where the horrors are about to begin. I'll have to try hard not to cry on the train on the way home. Still, it is important to know about these things.
I discovered the most amazing quotation today:
"To the living we owe respect, but to the dead we owe only the truth" - Voltaire
Back to work then!!
