*Never lose the ability to find beauty in ordinary things.*

My fortune cookie advice for the day. No I did not eat the cookie. LOL

Being buried for so long in this renovation this little quote has added continued impact from the thoughts I was already having on needed ME time. Not only do I need to slow down to center myself and remember there are things besides fixing up the house that are important, or taking care of everyone else but I have forgotten to notice simple things like the sun, the sky and the stars that shine in the night. Too look up and out and beyond the walls that bind me to the work. To enjoy these small pleasures is as much akin to me time as it is to remember that life is not a mission, without these little pleasures we would stagnate and have trouble plodding one foot in front of the other.

So remember, as you work, and plan and frustrate in this life that it is up to you to take the time to look beyond the bindings, blinders and walls in life be they real or imagined no matter their source.

Take time to notice something extraordinary in your ordinary day.

*hugs*
