Celebrate The Ordinary

Without storms we would not appreciate sunshine with the same passion. If we never felt pain, comfort would not embrace us with the same soothing arms. When every step is easy the journey seems less magical. Without mountains to scale we might never ask more of our feet than a lazy shuffle over flat lifeless ground.
Dreams of loftier places give us something to aim toward, but the struggle toward tomorrow should not blind us to the beauty of today. Good or bad each day is a precious gift. Every moment matters. Each second counts. Time flies so quickly by when we do not pay enough attention to its passing. Slowing down the ticking clock is not possible, but each minute you really own has a larger image and a expanded scope that the ones you ignore do not possess.
Pay close attention to every aspect of your life. Gaze at your surroundings as you go along. Look for the markers that will stick in your mind enough to make pictures you will look at over and over. Notice the little things that sweeten even the darkest of day. Possess the time you are given and it will not simply pass you by. Celebrate the ordinary, giving it importance you normally save for special occasions, and the extraordinary will inspire even greater bliss.
