The Beauty of the Ordinary

Have you ever sat down to write a letter or an email to a friend only to resign the task because life just feels too ordinary?

            Familiar faces... 

                Humdrum routines...

                    Typical days....

Yet there is a certain beauty in the ordinary as I recently discovered via a social media post.  I haven't posted for quite some time and was nudged to post when a friend and I thought it could encourage us to pursue certain activities.  So I posted a picture of bread I baked and... people responded.

Our unique season of COVID has brought about an unusual season of isolation and disruption.  We long for the days of the "other ordinary."

                    Full-faced smiles and spontaneous hugs....

                        Pot-lucks and treat plates...

                            Pop-ins and meet-ups with family and friends...

So this blog along with snail-mail will aim to share some of the ordinary beauty of life - and I hope you will share your ordinary beauty, too!
