How does one identify an 'extraordinary' moment...??
An extraordinary moment doesn't send out an invitation to prepare one for its grand entrance...
An extraordinary moment doesn't arrive with shouts and a parade demanding our full attention...
Quite the contrary, extraordinary moments show up unannounced, with no fanfare...
In fact, I wonder how many extraordinary moments I have sauntered past without any consideration of its inherent value until I looked back upon it from afar...
Thankfully life has a rear view mirror - so I can reflect back and re-index such moments and recognize that they indeed were extraordinary.
Perhaps extraordinary moments arrive unexpectedly so we can learn to value each moment -
Perhaps the only difference between an 'average' moment and an 'extraordinary' moment is the meaning we assign to it...
I celebrated a beautiful birthday yesterday, surrounded by much love. I cannot begin to recall the number of spectacular moments contained in the day- yet as I reflect back with gratitude, the day was generously seasoned with a grand dose of the Extra-ordinary...!!!
Cheers to finding the Extraordinary tucked within today...
