Birthday candles!
My birthday was a couple of weeks ago,and all day, people texted to ask if I was doing something special. My answer was no. I had a wonderful ordinary day.
I led two corporate workshops. I walked my dogs. My kids called. I was hungry for pasta, so my husband and I went out for Italian food. I talked to clients. I folded laundry. Honestly, it was the best birthday ever.
I love living an ordinary life. When I was younger, I felt the pressure to change the world...to solve poverty or war. Every day, I see extraordinary ordinary people doing extraordinary things in their ordinary lives.
There is something wonderful about the day-to-day act of living. Take a look around your life. What is extraordinary about your ordinary life?
