5 Minute Fridays {Ordinary}

*On Fridays, the Gypsy Mama hosts "5 Minute Fridays" - a prompt to write on a topic for just five minutes.  No editing.  No second guessing.  Just writing. So here's my five minutes on:
Ordinary

It seems that maybe...just maybe....ordinary is a matter of perspective.

Because when I think about my life in terms of:
loads of laundry, 
piles of dishes, 
floors that need sweeping, 
furniture that needs dusting,
and bedrooms that need cleaning,
....then yes, my life seems pretty ordinary.  

But what if I shift my perspective? What if I think about the OTHER things that are typically a part of my day:
an amazing husband, who works hard each day for his family;
two lovely daughters, gracing me with their smiles and giggles;
friends and family who are there when I call; 
a house to keep us protected;
and always, always enough of what we need,
....then our life is no longer ordinary.

It is completely and wonderfully EXTRAORDINARY.
