Don't wait for extraordinary opportunities. Seize common occasions and make them great.
~Orison Swett Marden
Today I am feeling a bit under the weather, so this is actually perfect. In between sleeping I have been reading or watching inspirational art technique videos or trying to eat. I am practicing the art of making this little sick day great!
All joking aside, this quote goes with many of the same theme that I have read lately. Sometimes we want everything to be amazing and we are so busy looking for that, seeking it or "working on" it, that we can let ordinary great moments pass us by without much notice.
One of my favourite song lines is from John Lennon,
"Life is what happens to you when you're busy making other plans."
John included this in a song for his young son, Sean, along with other simple life reminders. It is a reminder that life keeps going, regardless of how we choose to use our time up with... And so noticing the little things can be important if we don't want to miss life!
Life, and all of it's types of moments, can be pretty amazing, even in bed, with a funny tummy.
Enjoy your week!
