LIFE IS LIKE ONE DAY AT A TIME

We are told to live one day at a time. To accomplish a task one step at a time even when there may be shadows. Life lived in moments that make memories for a lifetime. The simple everyday accomplishments that lead to success. An essay written- from a word to a sentence to a paragraph to a page. A garden from the dirt dug, to the seed planted to the grown flower or tree. The skills of a player to the game to the victory. Small steps. Quiet moments. Life's blessings! Grabbing those blessings and holding them tight. Continuing despite any drawbacks. Life- one moment, one hour, one day at a time!

THOSE ORDINARY MOMENTS

How many times in our lives do we almost miss the moments that make memories? Our daily coffee. The quick kiss goodbye. Stopping to smell the roses- a cliche that triggers something in all of us. Today I was lucky to chase two two year olds around-my grandsons. Making a mess, dropping their food, making bubbles. Last night Adolph and I heard a bird singing and tried to find it- we did- our little Gold Finch chirping away in the tree. Before I shut my curtains , I stopped to look at the sunset. In our hurried lives we can rush around looking for something that is right in front of us. What do you see when you look at the picture? Can you hear the loon singing? Is there a motor boat around the corner returning from a fishing trip? Isn't it a typical Canadian scene from anywhere? Ordinary picture. Ordinary moment. What are some of your best ordinary moments?
