Unlikely Treasure

So you know how I always say appreciate the little things right? Well my niece Caitlyn (She's in 1st grade.)gave me a pea sized present wrapped up in flower stickers and told me to not pull the stickers off until I got back up to school. I had been back up at school for an hour or two when was reaching into my pocket to put a dollar bill I had in my front pocket into my wallet. I felt the little present she had given me in the bottom of the pocket. So I pulled it out and looked at it. I thought maybe it was some ABC gum or something, but then I pulled the stickers off and it was a tiny pebble. It made me smile. Appreciate the little things folks. How much work did it take her to coat that pebble in 10 or 12 stickers to give to me? How funny must she have thought she was being by giving it to me? How awesome is it that it was something so trivial yet so meaningful? Definately a treasure worth keeping!

Awww! Yeah, pebbles are an unlikely treasure in my life as well. I first met my exboyfriend at Chilis, and he introduced himself as Levi and gave me this small "friendship rock". It was really kinda corny, but I liked it. We broke up, but I still have the rock.

The simple joy of a six year old! Treasure that pebble! I still have the one my oldest daughter gave me!
