Thank you so much for reminding me of the beauty of the ordinary today. This piece also immediately made me think of a song by one of my favorite artists, "Holy as the Day is Spent" by Carrie Newcomer (would highly recommend any of her music, as much of it speaks to similar themes!) https://youtu.be/pxzO8DyY9e8

Once again your words really resonated with me. I have been pondering your words since yesterday. My father recently passed away and while he lived an extraordinary life it's the ordinary things I miss.

A phone call.

Sitting and looking at photos.

Shared memories of life.

Making his coffee in the morning.

For me, today is laundry day. Crisp, clean sheets are one of my favorite things. I normally rush through and just get the "chore" done. Today I am taking my time enjoying the process. In appreciation for the ability to do laundry and have clean clothes. Thank you for championing the ordinary.
