Happy New Year, a Little Late

Belated Happy New Year! I hope the start of the new year has been good for you. So far, the year has been good for me.

I am not a New Year Resolution maker. I dislike setting goals and making plans to change myself. I love to live in the moment and relish the wonder of each morning and what the day will bring to me and my family.

What I did decide to was choose a word for the year. My word for this year is:

ORDINARY

What is ordinary?

• Ordinary is snuggling with The Hotel Man in the early morning before we fully start our day.
• Ordinary is a half-filled coffee cup left sitting on the kitchen counter.
  
• Ordinary is the sound of Mr. E talking to his animals and reading a book while he falls asleep at nap time.
  
• Ordinary is trying a new recipe for dinner.
  
• Ordinary is looking around my house and seeing the remains of my day.

Here are a few photos of the ordinary from the first few days of 2012

Where can you find ordinary in your day?
