Springtime

In the midst of home study/dossier paperwork, prepping for a competition/Crossfit Open/gym life, day to day ups and downs, internal battles and external struggles, I find simple reminders like this so grounding.  So I looked around and found some seemingly ordinary things...

Like loosing a first tooth!

Like listening to your friend share her newfound love for Haiti!

Laughs and drinks with fabulous friends!

And being reminded of this.  That I'm thankful for the choice we make to love each other every day in the midst of difficulties and joys.

And having a few extra minutes to add a little character to the back door.

I've noticed over the years that if you can manage to find joy in the ordinary and sometimes that is so difficult, this incredible thing happens.  The ordinary start to look and feel extraordinary.

Life feels pretty extraordinary these days...
