it is in the ordinary the day to day comings and goings the . . . “hello, how have you been?” and the . . . “what did you do today?” that comfort is found the trading of stories of . . . what was – what is – what is dreamed of in this solidarity is bound perhaps . . . it is just, that that is what I am ordinary but in my ordinary – I have beneath me solid ground s.a.t. Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

Your "ordinary" fits more into the category of "extraordinary". I like people who have their feet planted firmly on terra firma ~ but their minds soar among the stars! You are such a person, Sparkling Susan. A very warm and comforting write. Almost folksy ~ and very charming. Love you! Linda |

The title drew me...Yes, it's in the ordinary that one finds the exceptional. Nicely done |

Susan ordinary is extraordinary. When my daughter asks me, "To read her a bed time story," or my puppies bounce around with excitement when I get home I realize...these little things are what makes life worth living. I would not trade them for a cup of gold. There is no ordinary...there is belonging...and love...and that is worth everything in mine eyes. Remember, if you're not part of the future, you're history! |

Thank you dear friends - and EV2 - you are so very right - the other day my daughter looked up at me and said something so ordinary and my heart just flooded over and I was amazed at what an extraordinary amount of love the human heart can hold. Hugs all - SusanHappiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |
