The Little Things......

Cora is one that notices things that no one else notices.  She is aware of what people wore: their earrings, purse that matches the outfit or even the shade of lipstick.  When she was younger I would ask about how her day was at school she would give me a run down of her teacher's outfit of that day or what color nailpolish she had on that day.  Cora loves pretty things.  She loves stores like Claires, her favorite lipgloss is Mary Kay Fancy Nancy, and her favorite nailpolish is OPI.  I used to think that because Cora was "aware" of these things that she focused too much on superficial things but this Sunday I realized it was something different.

While at church on Sunday, we were standing in line to receive communion and Cora quickly turns and taps me and points. I was of course getting ready to fuss at her, when she says, "Look at her socks!"  When I looked to my right I see a woman, my age, with a pair of Little Missmatched socks on!  I quickly acknowledged Cora's excitement but immediately focused her on being in line for communion. 

For those that really know Cora you know of her love of Little Missmatched .  The socks that this company sells come in threes.  All 3 socks are designed differently but they all coordinate so you can mix and match.  Now this woman's husband heard Cora's gasp and saw her point, but I assure you he had no idea what Cora was looking at because he probably has no idea what Little Missmatched is but to Cora this woman just became the coolest lady in church!

When we left church I thought that I could chalk that up to one more things that only Cora notices.  But then I realized....anyone can say, "You look nice today."  But Cora can say, "You had the most amazing socks on today."  Which one sounds more sincere?  I figured out then that Cora doesn't notice superficial things.....she notices details about people that no one else takes the time to appreciate.  We missed seeing that Little Missmatched woman after church.  I am sure that Cora would have made her day! 

Cora in all her Little Missmatched glory!  Even her hat is LMM (a present from JJ!)
