Writing The Story

 Every day I look forward to opening my email 

to discover what the National day of  ___ is.  

For whatever reason, it's fun to me.  

I sometimes laugh, shake my head in disbelief... or nod wanting to celebrate

it for all it's worth.  

Especially the food days.  You know; pancake day etc... :)

Today among other things it is.. national write down your story day.

How can you not love that if you're a journaler?  

Even now as I stare at this screen the word journaler keeps leaping out at me.

Not only because I love the word but because it's underlined in red.

It screams red, "correct meeee!... and this  "udder" rebellion flat out refuses.  :)

It's all part of writing the story.  -- Least to me.

Sometimes there is a lot of reading between the lines... even red ones.   

And every day has something to record.

A thought... a surprise... a little thing to celebrate. 

Sometimes our story  includes someone else.  

So many...

Ordinary, extraordinary

beautiful little things.   

 They attract us... if we'll see them..

especially when they're shiny or twinkle in the Sonlight.    

 On the surface... 

life  can seem still

and plain ordinary. 

But ordinary 

is extraordinary

if only we can see it. 

That

is what I'm writing today.
