Why you ask? It truly is the little things in life. It's the thoughtfulness behind gifts that touch my heart and brighten my day.
A friend of my stepmoms, Karyn, was gracious enough to allow me into her classroom today to observe for my class I am taking and she got me a birthday cake. She's never ever met me before, never talked to me face to face before this day and she got me a cake. A boy in her class, when he found out it was my birthday, slipped me a tootsie roll and said happy birthday. Mind you, this was one of the big tootsie rolls, not the rinky dink originals. For a ten year old that's a huge deal!
Adam and the girls got me a cookbook I have been wanting: "Pioneer Woman Cooks!", and his mom got me the new Tinkerbell movie...popcorn and movie here I come! Riley even 'signed' (aka colored) a card for me...I love it!
My mom sent me $25 dollars to get whatever I wanted...and GASP! I got a video game...weird, huh? My grandma got me a beautiful green necklace and earring set that I absolutely adore and find myself matching my clothes to the jewelery instead of the usual other way around. And then, my best friend Danielle got me a gorgeous handmade purse with beaded handles...oh! This thing is beeeeutiful! I cannot wait to have a special occasion to use it. This gift is especially dear to me because I know that money is tight for them right now, but they got me this gift.
It is truly the things that make you feel warm and fuzzy inside that make times special. It's not how expensive gifts are, or that amount of gifts that you are given...it is about the love and thoughtfulness of the people that surround you and are in your life. I, for one, am truly blessed. :)
