I dine out alone a lot.
I like the company of strangers.
They feed my imagination and I get distracted from my own dark thoughts.

This afternoon, a young family of three shared a table with me. (it's a common practice to share tables in budget eat-outs)
It's such a blessing to witness such a harmonious family dining together.
The couple is still very much in love - yes, I shamelessly eavesdropped in their conversations and I noticed how they shared their food.
And they adored their lovely toddler daughter.
The daughter had a nice set of Hello Kitty eating utensils, which is very fitting to her eating needs.

Such a lovely family.
