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.
the ordinary can be rather extraordinary, its all in how we look at it...lighting the town christmas tree...that sounds fun...hope your daughter had a nice birthday as well...
ReplyDeleteIt'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.
Deletewill do, have done. hope you are having a great weekend.
DeleteI really like this. Happy Birthday to your daughter!
ReplyDeleteJust talked to her on Skype as she left for her birthday dinner out. She looked happy indeed!
DeleteLovely - a very good attitude towards life - and it sounds like you live in a pretty beautiful place. k.
ReplyDeleteI do. The mountains were clear today and snow thick at the top. Cold though- down into the 40's.
DeleteBellissima!!!!
ReplyDeleteGrandmother, you paint a beautiful picture.
Loved your 55
Thanks for playing, thanks for embracing the Friday Funfest, and have a Kick Ass Week-End
Parla Italiano, G-man? E grazie!
DeleteNice 55. Thanks for the reminder that ordinary ain't all bad!
ReplyDeleteI was reminding myself as well.
DeleteThere is so much joy in the 'ordinary.' We just have to remind ourselves sometime to appreciate the extraordinary in every ordinary day.
ReplyDeleteYes, well said.
DeleteLovely reminder: the key to life is finding the extraordinary in the mundane.
ReplyDeletebetween you and me...
Flash 55 - Wanted: Dead or Alive?
The key and the challenge.
DeleteYour life is so full, and your posts are always filled with gratitude and joy. I will plan on making something wonderful out of MY weekend. Thanks, Mary! :-)
ReplyDeleteI could say ditto to that, DJan!
DeleteOh, I certainly hope to have such a week. I hope I'd even recognize the extraordinary in the ordinary.
ReplyDeleteIt's what I hope for myself too.
DeleteThere is something beautiful and extra ordinary from ordinary days and weeks ~ Enjoy your weekend with your family ~
ReplyDeleteThank you, and you as well.
DeleteOur 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.
ReplyDeleteVery glad they want to stay here when they visit the west coast from New Jersey. This will be an ordinary, extraordinary weekend for us.
This is exactly one of those ordinary extraordinary times. Enjoy every minute of it and thanks for sharing it with me.
Deleteoh i much like your line breaks here..fit so perfectly with discovering new things in a familiar world...happy sunday to you mary
