Small Wonders

The world might end today.  That's according to people who didn't bother to research more about the Mayans.  NASA is pretty convinced today is just another day.  I think it's somewhere in between -- the winter solstice has been a significant day in many cultures dating back for thousands of years.  And a lot of people do agree that today is the end of something -- a cycle, an era, the ownership of the NYSE.  I can feel the energy out there.  It's actually pretty cool.  But, just in case the world does end today, I wouldn't feel right if I didn't take the time to acknowledge all those small wonders in the world -- the little, beautiful things that we normally take for granted.

Be content with what you have, rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.  - Lao Tzu
