Five Minute Friday

Today's topic: Ordinary

Go

I've never really liked the word ordinary. It always seems to be synonymous for boring or mundane. And none of these are things I have ever seen in this world.

I've never looked outside and thought how ordinary things are. I've always thought of them as extraordinary. From the way the sun never stops shining and the way that people are always changing and growing and connecting to one another. 

There are so many "ordinary" things that I see to be extraordinary:

Family

Friends

Being happy

Reading an amazing book

Sitting in silence and being content

Great movies

Hugs

Promises

Loving and being loved in return

Pets

Waking up in the morning

Delicious food

Christmas

Birthdays

Finally being able to do that math problem

And so many more

These things are everyday things. Things that people do all the time and never really think about. Things that we might not always be thankful for, but we would miss if they weren't there. 

I think that's what ordinary is. Having these extraordinary things that happen and not always noticing until they aren't there. 

Love,

Natalie
