28 the world can happen anywhere and anyone can do it. I can make sure that it doesn’t matter whether I ever 29 a day in uniform. Even now, I still start my day with making the bed to perfection. So if you have an awful day by accident, you will come home to a bed that is made-that you made-and a made bed gives you encouragement that tomorrow will be better.
In general, if you want to change the world, 30 off by making your bed. I hope all of
you will have a brighter future!

One morning, I ran to the garden, and said to the old Scotsman who worked there. “Today I am going up the mountain for berries. ”
“No, no, Missey, not today. ” he said , “It will rain. ”
