Ordinary Days of Life

I think you'll find that most all of us have ordinary days, everyday. Once in a while, something arises that is spectacular, possibly the only things really worth posting about (or that you would care to read about), but in reality we all just live life. There is nothing to notable about most lives, and I would put myself in that category, but still, I am thankful for my life and the ordinary days. I am not a person that lives for the spectacular moments, for if I did I would miss out on the most precious moments of my life, ones that I should call 'gifts that God has meant for me.' These moments come and go each day and would possibly go unnoticed by the average person, and yet, they are what define me as a person, a mother, a wife, a friend, a daughter, and a child of God. It's the little things like, breakfast with Brooklyn, chasing around Brittan, playing with toys on the floor, lunch with a friend, cleaning my house, mowing the yard to help out my husband, family dinnertime, talking on the phone to my Mom, a sister, or a friend, the kids bathtime, family and/or personal devotions, baking cookies, making dinner, or chatting with Brook after the kids go to bed . None of these seem extraordinary I know, but you aren't here, and I can't possibly capture the details in which these everyday "tasks" are made special. It is the gift of a smile, the laughter of my children, a new word said by Brittan, a funny saying from Brooklyn, an I love you, a thank you from a hurting friend, something done to make me laugh a hundred different times a day for a hundred different reasons (Note: I LOVE to laugh!), a hug or a kiss, or the satisfaction of knowing that I made someone's day!

I fully realize that none of the above mentioned are out of the park amazing, but for me they are. They make the ordinary everyday, special. I love life and don't find it boring to have it be ordinary, for it is in the ordinary moments of life that something extraordinary happens! These are the times in which I realize, I have purpose. So, please, those of you who never post because you don't think that your life is interesting enough, it is. We all want to know what happens in your ordinary life that makes it extraordinary. So today I say, have an extraordinary, ordinary day!
