Li'l Bit O' Love

Love comes in many, many different shapes, sizes, colors and forms. Each one very special! Maybe you are familiar with Gary Chapman's 'Five Love Languages'.

It's in the smile someone passes to you...

It's in the warm embrace you just received...

It's in the 2-hour drive, filled with laughter and good conversation...

It's in the sunset you see on the horizon every night painted by our Heavenly Father...

It's in the compliment your dear friend just gave you...

It's in the sweet laugh of a loved one...

It's in the admiring look...

It's in the high-five from your coworker...

It's in the warm peck on the cheek you just gave your dear friend...

It's in the time it took to type that text message...

It's in the meal your wife just made for you...

A sign of sincere love came to me today in a Kleenex-wrapped gift from my manager. :)

Belated Birthday Befuddlement!!

Ok. So I went into my beloved Vera Bradley

bag yesterday to get this sack of Sugar Free Life Savers that I had found in my bag a few weeks before. I noticed this bag of Life Savers in there like I said a while ago, but didn't really pick it up or give it a second thought... to be honest, my bag is pretty much everyone in my family's bag! If they dont want to hold something, I find it in there. :-P So I thought mom had purchased or got this bag of Life Savers somewhere and just tossed it in there. I forgot to mention it to her or anyone. So subconsciously I knew it was there---

But before art class yesterday I said to myself "Hey, let me go get those Life Savers and share them with the class while we paint!"

I picked it up and saw a mint fall out, but didn't pay any attention. I noticed in feeling the bag that there was something big and hard in it! That intrigued me so I ripped the bag from the top and then all the mints fell thru the bottom leaving it empty--- but not completely. :) I saw the corner of a black plastic thing! I pulled it out to see it was a $25 iTunes gift card that said "Happy Birthday" on it!!!!!!!

I. WAS. SHOCKED. When I thought about the falling mints I looked and saw that someone had slightly opened the bottom to shove the gift card in the bag...

I was in a tizzy allll yesterday and still today even! It's going to bug me... I am not good with surprises. I really am not! I'll try everything possible to find something out if I know for a fact that some one's keeping something from me! lol. Isn't that horrible? lol. It's a downfall of mine. But still, I'm not easily surprised... SO I seriously need to know who did this. If it's you, come clean right now. lol. I want to pay gratitude where gratitude is due-- I feel like I have unfinished business. I want to tell this person 'thank you' very sincerely because I appreciate it so very much.
