The Beauty In The Ordinary

Life is made up of ordinary days, the mundane moments stitched together between the big, life changing ones. 

The beauty of living is created in the ordinary. Saturday morning coffee, conversations in the car, cookouts, sitting by the fire, movie nights, cooking breakfast, homework, ball games, goodnight kisses, routines, I love yous..a thousand ordinary moments that make up a thousand ordinary days. That’s where home is built.

Life keeps showing up and reminding me to live in the beauty of the ordinary. To love the hardest in the day to day. To connect and hug every chance I get. To make memories, take on challenges together, listen, be present, and soak in the togetherness. When we look back at our life, our sense of home-we will look back and remember the smell of breakfast cooking, playing in the yard, slow, rainy days wrapped up on the couch. Those moments will be the most precious memories. 

We never know when life will throw us a curveball and the ordinary will shift-forever changed. When that happens, there is no going back to the ordinary we knew. It will happen on a normal day. So hug your people hard and don’t overlook the beauty in the every day living. That’s where home is built, brick by brick. It’s where love grows. 

Whether today is just an ordinary day or a defining day in your life, love hard and hug your people.
