Little Miss Know It All

I realize that yesterday was Thanksgiving, but I am of the mindset that you never need a specific day in which to give thanks so here goes. I am thankful for a God who loves me unconditionally, friends who stay friends no matter what, a husband and best friend who knows and sees my flaws on a daily basis but still calls me beautiful, a family that's family no matter what that means on any given day, a puppy who manages to make me laugh when I feel less than capable of doing so, food in my stomach, a warm place to lay my head at night, a job in which to make a living from, and relatively decent health for the most part. That covers most of the big stuff. I can't even touch on the lesser items that are still incredibly important. Those will wait for another opportunity in which to give thanks. May we all find at least one thing in which to be greatful for on a daily basis.

"When he looked into her eyes, and saw that her lips were poised between a laugh and silence, he learned the most important part of the language that all the world spoke -- the language that everyone on earth was capable of understanding in their heart. It was love. Something older than humanity, more ancient than the desert. Something that exerted the same force whenever two pairs of eyes met...She smiled, and that was certainly an omen -- the omen he had been awaiting, without even knowing he was, for all his life..." --from The Alchemist, Paulo Coelho
