The 6th Day of Christmas

"On the 6th day of Christmas,
My True Friend Gave to Me...

....6 Paperclips,

....5 Christmas Stockings,
4 Generations of Loved Ones,

Three green comfy blankets,
Two Braiding Hair Friends,
And One Warm Winter Hat."

As I was saying yesterday, it's the little things that

count. Ellie loves nothing more than getting

in our desk drawer and getting the box of paperclips out.

I am always amazed at how things of little significance

to me, are Ellie's favorite things to play with. How I wish

I could train myself to be as a child again and find pleasure

in what the world would think was insignificant. I often think it is

in those things that true happiness is found.
