Everyday is special!
Last night we had rain after several days of sweltering heat. In the magic of the moment when I stood on my balcony to wonder at this out-of-season rain and enjoy the refreshing breeze, I was hit by a sudden thought. I realized that somewhere down the line my life had ceased to be ordinary. It had become increasingly peppered with too many happy coincidences, pleasant surprises and exhilarating moments. They all just happened. And I thought I was living an ordinary life. A spotted dove on my windowsill, the morning mist, a radiant sunset, a moonbeam on my bed, a warm hug, a loving phone call, a surprise gift, a sunny smile, a compliment, a rich red rose – I can go on and on about a zillion things, small and big, that made everyday special.
So I had to come to the conclusion that I live an extraordinary life! And of course, there’s a HUGE smile on my face. You would have one too, if everyday were special or you made it so.

God has blessed you with being able to see these simple blessings; but yet they mean so much! Many might not see or hear these blessings. I feel like we have to look for Him in many things. We have so many beautiful things surrounding us every day, but yet don't take the time to see them. Have a beautiful week. Janie Marie
Thank you Janie Marie. I never quite looked at it that way.
Thank you Betty. It warms my heart to hear what you said. :-)
