ordinary days
“The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things”
-Henry Ward Beecher
For me, these common things are simply moments. Moments when I tune into my surroundings and find the extraordinary in the ordinary.
Hearing the birds chirp on an unseasonably warm Winter day (like today).
A phone call from an old friend.
The smell of freshly baked banana bread rising in the oven.
Coffee with whipped cream.
A care package (complete with homemade lasagna) from Mama.
An email from my brother.
A cold fountain Coca Cola.
These are just a few of the things I choose to delight in. What are some common things that bring joy to your otherwise ordinary days?
