Ordinary Miracle

It's not that unusual
When everything is beautiful
It's just another ordinary miracle today

The sky knows when it's time to snow
Don't need to teach a seed to grow
It's just another ordinary miracle today

Life is like a gift they say
Wrapped up for you everyday
Open up and find a way
To give some of your own

Isn't it remarkable Like every time a raindrop falls
It's just another ordinary miracle today
Birds in winter have their fling
Will always make it home by spring
It's just another ordinary miracle today

When you wake up everyday
Please don't throw your dreams away
Hold them close to your heart'
Cause we're all a part of the ordinary miracle
Do you want to see a miracle?

It seems so exceptional
The things just work out after all
It's just another ordinary miracle today
Sun comes up and shines so bright
And disappears again at night
It's just another ordinary miracle today

It's just another ordinary miracle today
PERSONAL GNOTE:
This gnome is for me. I thought about writing a story, but to be perfectly honest, the lyrics to "Ordinary Miracle" by Sarah MecLachlan are simply perfect. It's EXACTLY what I wanted to say.

Tiny Treasure Keeper

I would like you to meet a very special friend. I have given him the most important job that comes to mind. He is your new Treasure Keeper! He may gnot look big and tough to you, but I can assure you he is perfect for the job! Here's how it works... First go find an adventure, or let an adventure find you, then decide what plain looking items you find are holding a bit of magic inside. Whether it be a small rock, button, twig, bead, coin or even a jingle bell, it's up to you to decide which treasures are worth keeping. There is only one rule about deciding which items are worth more than they appear, and that is this: they must put a smile on your face and give your tummy warm happy thoughts. Perhaps your favorite small photo will do? Once you have found your happy thoughts, give them to your Treasure Keeper and he will be sure to guard them and keep them safe. And that's gnot all, gno siree! He happens to be great at keeping gnightmares away and always has a little cuddle in store if you ever gneed your bucket refilled. Sounds like the perfect tiny friend to me! Let the treasure hunting begin!

Respecting Flowers from the Past

Most gnomes in the community focus their attention on the abundance of life in the garden, which comes as no surprise. After all, it's easy to see the beauty in life. This sweetly twisted gnomette, though, thinks it's important to remember our loved ones from the past too. She has always liked things a little edgy and is able to see beauty in the completion of the life cycle. She understands that the garden would have gno seeds to grow if gnot for the flowers that came before. Gnaturally, it's her job to tend to the plants and flowers that die in the garden. It's such an important job because all flowers die every year and if somegnome did not take care of them, they would not be able to return to bloom in the spring. It goes without saying that gnot all gnomes understand her fascination, but that does gnot matter much to her. She understands better than most that the true enchantment of the garden comes from the completion of life's cycle and that would gnot be possible without flowers from the past. She is honored to play such an important role in giving them the respect they deserve.

Bitty Betty

Hello my friend, as I hope I can call you. If you take a moment, I think you'll like me too. My persona can change from day to day. Be it clothes or hair color, I do it my way. It's what's in my heart and the good that I do, those are the things, the things you should view. If you give me a squeeze, I think you will soon see that we're full of the same cuddles, you and me. Take a pause before speaking, no snap judgements today. Take a moment to listen to what I have to say. You can find friends in all kinds of places, of all different styles and ages and races. If you will call me "friend" today, I'm sure our bond will be here to stay.

Honorary Band Member

I'm sure you know how it goes. Everygnome has that one band that they absolutely adore. Their music just strikes a cord in your soul. In many ways, it's different for everygnome because every band is as unique as every soul. Gno matter what kind of music calls to your heart, though, some things remain the same. The band's passion in their words can be felt in your soul, almost as though it's your sorrow they are singing about. Your heart seems to beat in time with the drums as though they are one. And of course, it goes without saying, everygnome would love to actually meet the band, let alone be part of it. So look what the Black Veil Beetles have done! They have actually sent an honorary band member to meet their biggest fan! Don't believe me? I have to admit, I hardly believe myself. Let's ask him. I'm sure he's legit.

Gnever Gnightmares

It's a well known fact that one of most popular Gnomish past times is to chase away bad dreams, but gnognome has ever loved the hobby as much as this little fella. He gets all decked out in scary attire so that he can blend in. He figures that the best way to catch those pesky gnaughty dreams is to work under disguise, and based on his reputation as a gnightmare super hero of sorts, I'd guess that his technqiue works. The Gnightmares gnever see him coming!
