Friday 55 - Ordinary Weeks


Big week- my daughter's birthday,
discovered six- word stories,
mountain snow fell and
our town lit its Christmas tree
in the main square.

Every week is like this-
ordinary things, newly
discovered, light my world.
Ordinary weeks, well lived,
bring light to our world.

Have an ordinary weekend,
live it well, bring even more light.




This is a Friday 55 for the G-Man. Check him out- join the fun.

    1. It's our life- ordinary days strung together with all that they bring- good, bad, extraordinary- and some fun thrown in, too. Add love to bind us. Have a great weekend, Brian. Give your honeys a hug.

    1. I do. The mountains were clear today and snow thick at the top. Cold though- down into the 40's.

  6. There is so much joy in the 'ordinary.' We just have to remind ourselves sometime to appreciate the extraordinary in every ordinary day.

  7. Lovely reminder: the key to life is finding the extraordinary in the mundane.

    between you and me...

  11. Our daughter and son-in-law arrived last night for six days. Right now they're reading in the living room. I want to respect their silence rather than rush in there and converse. It's a good exercise for me.

    Very glad they want to stay here when they visit the west coast from New Jersey. This will be an ordinary, extraordinary weekend for us.
