Tonight I watched a wonderful movie titled, The Magic of Ordinary Days. I thought it was the perfect title to my day.
As this month ends, I am so happy to say I have made it this far on my journey. 365 days seems like a big task to unfold but it is the magic in the ordinary days that keeps me going. I would love to go to Paris, Hawaii, travel the world but it is the magic I share every day with my family that keeps me happy. It is the little things we try together, like bowling, and movies, puppets and even a new treat that make our days special. I sat and wrote down 100 things I would like to do this year and I am hoping whoever reads this will also give me some great ideas of adventure, or even some great grubb to get my hands on. I plan on taking a hot air balloon ride, and I am sooooooo terrified but I am going to conquer my fear. I want to learn to swing dance with my hubby, and even finish a few things I started years ago, including a song and a tattoo.
Today's ordinary magic was teaching my girls 3 of my favorite things as a child, two square, slam ball and how to pitch a softball. I wish I would have recorded it. My oldest was laughing so hard she could barely hit the ball and when she pitched her first shot it nearly went over the fence. As for my 5 year old, I just about died laughing when playing two square. I threw the ball to her and she grabbed it, took it, and chucked it out in the yard. I asked her, "What are you doing?" "I am getting you out mom," she says, "I thought I was suppose to keep it away from you." For the rest of my life I will remember today. I will remember their laughter and smiles and how much fun we had.
It is truly the magic in ordinary days that make life special and I plan on making each day count. So hears to you and hears to another 335 days of Living, Giving and Laughter!
