Something Ordinary

There was this quote that caught my eye when I was reading a particular blog and it said ?Right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale?? When friends ask me how I am, I usually just say that I?m doing fine and that nothing spectacular really happens to my life that would merit a celebration. Why? Because just like me, a lot of people get so caught up in the routine of their lives that it becomes something ordinary. Life becomes so mundane that it means little or nothing already or so it seems.

You and I both know that this is not true in most cases. People may find their lives meaningless but little miracles happen everyday. It can be a smile from a stranger after a hard day?s work, a hug from a friend after a misunderstanding, or a wad of paper bills in your pocket after losing your wallet. After years of friendship and a couple of failed relationships, two of my block mates in college found comfort in each other after a movie date. Now that?s what I call a simple miracle, something ordinary turned love extraordinaire! Countless and endless are the things that happen or can happen to us everyday. Some people look at their lives with pity while some look at the brighter side of things. Only a few are able to appreciate their lives. I?d like to think that somehow I?ve been able to appreciate the many things I have in life but admittedly I still am learning how to make each day worthwhile. My point really is whether you?re feeling low or high, happy or depressed, something ordinary can turn into something that changes your life forever. Stay awake and look out for those moments because you?ll never know what life can offer you next.

For tet and lac, I'm glad you finally found each other...
