Today was a perfectly ordinary day. Sure, it could have been less dreary with the all day rain but I am grateful for "ordinary" days. The get up in the morning with no schedule, no set plans, just to hang out with your family and be together. Grateful for sitting around the breakfast table and sharing in morning conversations, the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch...Moments of out of the ordinary, like holding our pet frog and having him urinating on my sweater (because this is what it is like in our house, anything can happen) An afternoon spent sorting through pictures, working on school projects, haircuts, watching a late afternoon basketball game. Then ordering a fabulous dinner to celebrate a special birthday. Ending the night watching a movie, cuddled on the couch with my little men. Grateful for these ordinary moments. I was sitting down to write this and head off to bed when "the Vow" came on. And I'll end with this quote:
The thing is each one of us,
is the sum total of every moment
that we ever experience,
with all the people we've ever known.
And it's these moments
that become our history.
Like our own personal of
greatest hits of memories.
We play and replay in our minds,
over and over again.
Life's all about moments,
of impact
and how they changes our lives forever.
But what if one day you could no longer remember any of them?
- Leo
Some of the best days, are spent like this....I'd be perfectly happy if the rest of my days are as "ordinary" as this one.
