I love my beautifully ordinary life! That line from a song struck me for some reason. Maybe it is because we take for granted those things we experience every day....to the point we can no longer see the beauty that surrounds us in our every waking moment. I want to continue to marvel at a rainbow that appears after a summer storm. I want to get caught up in the laughter and wonder of a child. I want to re-capture the moment when I saw my niece take her first step and then cried tears of pride when we sent her off to kindergarten. I want to bottle up the fragrance of a rose and the experience I get as I touch the soft petals....I want to always be grateful for being able to wake up each morning and be in my right mind and have the use and activities of my limbs. There is beauty in just being....but we allow the busyness of life to distract us from that truth. So take a moment and examine your life....and despite what is going on you will see that your too love your beautifully ordinary life.
