Memoir Monday- March 4

Ordinary.  What is "ordinary?"  I read in a blog recently that ordinary meant mediocre or not good enough, something not worth mention or a second look.

I humbly disagree.

I think there can be much beauty in the "ordinary" if one just takes the time to look for it.  An "ordinary" day, one perhaps without anything 'loud' or 'different' can have its own quiet and special treasure and uniqueness.  When we insist on ignoring the ordinary, I believe we are missing a special opportunity to see the little gifts that are given to us each day and fall into the trap of taking the "ordinary" beauty of our lives for granted like....

My little girl baking cookies for us all on a chilly Saturday afternoon

or looking through vacation photos and seeing one of an amazing sunset

realizing that yet another rose has bloomed on our Valentine's gift

The smile and fun that kiddos can have at a snack bar after doing some food shopping
(will try to add the photo later, but trust me, they were having a GREAT time!)

Finding the beauty in each and every day......there is nothing "ordinary" about that!  :-)
