Congratulations @theresidentromantic on what you‘ve achieved so far and thank you for the #almosttheregiveaway

I knew Belle would be a fave so I decided to pick Grumpy as I‘ve got a soft spot for him 💛 when I was little my favourite dwarf was Dopey but the older I got, the more I liked Grumpy. He just melts my heart - that face 😍 The bit at the end when he cries always gets me 😭

Many people have a photo album. In it they keep memories of the happiest of times...But you will never find in your album any photographs of miserable moments of your life..Such depressing shots never find their way into anyone‘s photo album. Yet there is another photo album that we keep in our heads called our memory. In that album, we include so many negative photographs...This is crazy! So let‘s do a purge of the photo album in our head...

Kirstin Now I want to make a photo album of all my depressing, mundane moments. Every 'don't you dare post that' picture. 😂 8y

2016, Book 39: "I'll give you a punishment...fifty strokes of the cat!" The boy's lips started to quiver (so much for the English stiff upper lip). He actually believed he was going to be whipped for stealing a sandwich. "Please find one of those cats and stroke it fifty times," I told him. "Learn some compassion from stroking the cat, and then you might learn how to forgive yourself." He took his punishment very well. So did our cat."
