Kind of an Oxymoron

Yesterday, my mom, my sister and I were spending the day with an old neighbour of ours. After lunch, we went shopping, or at least they were shopping and I was just a tag along. While I was waiting for them to finish shopping, I found a package cutter/opener. The front of this knife's package read "Stop struggling with those stubborn plastic packages." The thing is is that this stubborn plastic package opener was in one of those hard to open plastic packages. So, in order to open other difficult packages, you have to open that one first. Nice huh.

The Little Things

Yesterday I had to run into Mcdonalds, and on my way in these two kids (about 3 or 4 years old), come running around the corner singing Old McDonald and screaming "McDonalds!" It was so precious, they were so extatic about going to McDonalds they gave one of the employees a hug. It got me to thinking, as we grow up, we loose that kind of joy, we start taking things for granted. The little things like being able to eat at McDonalds, is no big deal. Take the time to take pleasure in the little things. Now I'm not saying you should run into your nearest McDonalds and give the closest employee a hug, but what I am saying is to just take the time to appreciate the little things in life.
