A Gift With Whiskers

Who knew the most perfect gift God could ever give would have whiskers?

A Gift With Whiskers
Nicole Markert

Last week, I had the pleasure of finding the cutest bundle of happiness within thorns, bushes, and of all things, a pumpkin patch.

It all started with a get together with two of my closest friends. I had arrived at my one friend's house, and the other was on her way. We joked and laughed, and just caught each other up on what was going on between the both of us. I heard a slight cooing of what sounded like a bird outside, but I ignored it. I could hear my other friend arriving outside, and as I heard her car door shut, we heard her talking.

The friend I was with joked that she was just weird and talking to the birds.

Before we knew it she burst through the doors and screamed:

"THERES A KITTEN OUTSIDE."

As a die hard animal lover, I sprinted down the stairs and we immediately began our search. It was about to rain so we wanted to get the kitten inside before it started down pouring. The little baby was understandably confused and afraid, and because of that he ran to the cover of my friend's pumpkin patch. When we finally got the babe to calm down so we could pick him up, I held him close to my chest and cooed to him telling him he was going to be safe and sound.

We brought him inside, and soon as we did so thunder clapped outside and flashes lit up the sky. I was so happy we were able to get him out of that situation in time. Thank god my friend realized he was out there, because otherwise he probably wouldn't have made it.

He kept crying for the next hour, and he would only stop when I would hold him or pet him. We thought he was four weeks old and still needed to be bottle fed, but after taking him to Pet smart we were told that he was six weeks old, and that he was indeed a cute little boy.

My parents are still on the fence about keeping him, but I have a good feeling about this. We are currently arguing about what to name him.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
