"Finding magic in ordinary days involves cultivating mindfulness and gratitude for life's simple moments, such as slowing down, appreciating small gestures, and finding joy in daily experiences. It also means creating magical moments by trying new things, celebrating small wins, and taking breaks from routine."
Some days I feel like I've lost the magic I had. Or rather the ability to feel that magic around me. Breaking from routine seems to give me the most trouble.
And maybe acknowledging this, and writing it down will help me focus my mind back to these things.
I can make excuses that I don't have time, but reality is that I need to make time. I have become so involved in "helping" mom that mundane chores between her needs, her house and my own chores takes over. And in that, I have lost myself.
Today was the first time I had been to PT in 8 days. I considered canceling but I am allowed my own life, too. And I felt better for going! Mind you, I will be a little stiff in the morning, but its worth it!
I should probably start back reading my book, Romancing the Ordinary by Sarah Ban Breathnach. Short daily reads to help appreciate the wonder of the ordinary things around us. She focuses on the senses: In addition to the five familiar senses, Breathnach introduces the concepts of a woman's intuitive "knowing" and her rapturous "wonder."
Thats what I want back .... that "wonder" !!)
