Lately, the days have been passing by quickly. I wake up, go to work, sneak in a quick lunch (read: inhale my lunch and run to the bathroom before the second wave of kids come), and then go home, eat, shower, sleep, and repeat.
It's been a cycle and I feel like I'm in a bit of a rut (again). I want to refresh myself and remind myself that this life of mine is not a forever. That the seasons I'm in will not (and are not) going to last forever and that someday I'll look back on these days with fond memories of the good old days (ha!).
But in all seriousness, I want to remember that today is a gift. That I've been given today, this moment, this second, this point in time and that it is a gift and not something I'm entitled to. It's not something I deserve, but rather, something I've been given. And like a gift, I'm going to enjoy it, eagerly anticipate what's next, and enjoy what I've received--no matter what lies inside.
How do you celebrate the ordinary? How do you remind yourself of this truth? Do you agree or disagree?
