Ordinary

I've never been so grateful for ordinary days as I am right now. 

We've just had one too many incidents taking place in our family over the past month or so that a mundane, uneventful day feels like a gift. 

Back in the days of our youth, I think many of us would often mutter about things being boring. But maybe something being boring is a good thing. Because there are moments where things are far too exciting than they ought to be and that could potentially be paired with some form of tragedy coming to call. 

A friend of mine quoted me a Chinese saying about this: "A life without major celebrations or major tragedies is a blessed one." 

Perhaps at a different season of my life I might have not seen the significance of this perspective on life. But I certainly do now. 

So thank God for another perfectly normal day. 

I'm glad just to have my life filled with them as long as that means I get to have the ones I love close to me and I get to be at peace and enjoy the pleasure of simple things.
