Lots of people go through life thinking that things are pretty mundane and boring, and they can be. I will be the first to admit that we have our schedules, our ruts, and we follow them most every day. There isn't much deviation from one day to the next. However...
There are moments in each day that, to others, would seem really mundane but, to me, they are super special. It can be as simple as something the kids do or say or the kiss that Trish gives me. It could be something as simple as having a meal with the family or watching an episode of Fireman Sam. Extraordinary moments indeed.
Today's word is a quote from Elizabeth Green, which says, "Sometimes the most ordinary things could be made extraordinary, simply by doing them with the right people."
It matters less what we are doing than whom we are doing those things with. Yeah, our family meals are pretty ordinary by most standards - eating, spilling, food on the table and in the floor - but, it is an extraordinary time because I am sharing it with my family.
Don't take for granted the special moments in your day. They have less to do with what is going on, and more to do with who you are sharing it with.
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
