Thankful for the Ordinary

October 7, 2011 By Africa

It’s Friday again……….

1. Write for 5 minutes flat – no editing, no over thinking, no backtracking.

    2. Link back here and invite others to join in.

3. Go all out encouraging the writer who linked up before you.

    OK, are you ready? Give me your best five minutes:

On ordinary…    

It’s the ordinary that is so easy to take for granted.  I hope to never take anyone or anything in my life for granted, but I also know that’s easier said than done!  I know from time to time I can be caught in the rut of ‘expecting’ certain things.  Things that almost begin to become ‘ordinary’!

I need someone, that is so far from ‘ordinary’ she tops the scale of extraordinary, to know that she is just that and so much more for me.  While I unfortunately have the ability to start to take the ordinary for granted, I need her to know that I appreciate every single thing she does for me.  From the dishes, to the laundry, and having dinner ready when I get home after a long day at work and reffing, or a nice snack ready after I get home late at night from class.
Especially I need her to know how much I appreciate her simply been there for me when I get home at 10pm at night with a tummy ache from hell and all in all just feeling ‘poopy’ (this is a real word in my vocabulary).  How much I appreciate her ordinary touch as she holds me so I can fall asleep.  And how much I need her to know that there truly is NOTHING ordinary about her, in my eyes she is extraordinarily special in every way!!!

I love you Jeanna!!! 

My five minutes is up.  Link up at  Five Minute Friday: Ordinary

    Have you heard of The Girl Effect? It’s a movement to end poverty by supporting girls in third world countries, helping them get an education and stop the cycle of teenage marriage and poverty. Oct. 4-11th is a blogging campaign week to write about being a girl and the unique attributes that make girls capable of changing the world. For more information, see this post on our blog: http://ermiliablog.wordpress.com/2011/10/05/the-girl-effect-blogging-event/
