today i was helping insulate windows. and really, how is fiberglass made of glass? it boggles the mind. which leads to the question, how is cotton candy made of sugar? there are just so many things that defy the limits of my small brain. things that you would never even think of yourself or that you are really impressed by. i never could have imagined trees on my own. definitely, never in a million years. i used to say "thank you Jesus" but then george started loving it and saying it completely in earnest and i felt a little bad meaning it but still trying to make it funny. so i've switched to calling the same sorts of things magic. i feel it's more socially acceptable. and i've been meaning to make a list of things that are magic. so let's do it.
1. windshield wipers
2. plants that come up EACH YEAR
3. when i needed a lighter and there were 5 in one pocket of a coat
4. the retractable leash
5. basically everything in the ocean
6. chlorophyll
7. glue sticks
8. every single bit of the human body
i could go on forever but i don't want to trivialize the magic-ness of the magic. i guess glue sticks could get taken off the list. and maybe the retractable leash. everything else is a must.

Ah! gifts of the universe, my favorite! I am going to add, if I may:
1. lightning bugs
2.communication devices(how do those work?)
3.for that matter, electronic devices and CDs
4. seeds
5.Prince, Clyde or Dog the Bounty Hunter... hard to choose
I think honey and light bulbs should definitely make it in the top 10. Along with Advil.
