It's bizarre to realise the influence you can have on people. I was talking with my gorgeous cousin last night and she mentioned that every time she eats ice cream she thinks of me and the way I used to mash my ice cream up as a kid (which, I have to admit, I still do). It's a small thing but it has brought me great joy throughout the day today to think that I have had, in a small and insignificant way, had an impact on her life and her happiness when eating ice cream.
It is no secret that I have an affinity with dairy. Without chocolate milk, smoothies and ice cream I would not be alive. Sounds dramatic, but it is totally true. I am a lazy (and pretty lousy) cook at the best of times. I eat to live. So when it's just me, I have zero motivation to eat and tend I have milkshakes for dinner out of obligation.
I will now smile a little deeper every time I reach into the freezer for the ice cream knowing that I have shared the joy with someone special.
