— some words of inspiration for your Thursday —

What ordinary things do your friend/wife/sister/mama eyes need to be opened up to?

Today will be filled with big smiles, baby hugs, a few big work tasks being checked off [yeow!] and many pauses to soak up the joy that fills the ordinary. XO

    today has been a day that feels more “just ordinary” than normal — and finding joy in it wasn’t a priority.

    I needed this reminder to always look for it and find it.

    xo!

    I take the opportunity to dance at work while I am walking back and forth in my office(I work at a doctor’s office) while walking to the printer, etc… we have the radio on so why not? And it keeps from going crazy. It is ordinary to me. :)

    Thank you! I get to be home today: school, baking cookies, sweeping the floor. I’ll be on the lookout for the “little” things that are so wonderful!
