Grateful Friday

Today I give thanks for...

Ordinary things.

In our efforts to make each moment "count," we seem to have lost the knack of appreciating the ordinary. We provide our children with so much that the extraordinary isn't special anymore, and the subtle rhythms of daily life elude us altogether. We do too much and savor too little.

- Katrina Kenison








We have dates tomorrow for breakfast with Santa and for the annual tree cutting with Grandma and Grandpa, but if we get the snow that's predicted, we just may be stuck at home with the ordinary and that's just as fine by me. I not only savor the ordinary, but I soak it in and am sustained by it.
