Tuesday, April 28, 2020 Thankful for Quotidian Things

I’m becoming convinced that the more time we spend on social media, the more deranged and fractious we are becoming. How’s that for a fun way to start my blog post for today? I’m offering you something else to look at and think about today – you’re welcome.

Everywhere I look, I see more signs of the coming season of fruitfulness: the beginnings of our garden, a robin nesting, buds on branches, and some of the first leaves on our raspberry plants. These are happy, hopeful signs. Wouldn’t you rather think on these things instead of what’s being served to you on Facebook?

I would.

Today, I am thankful for all the little things, the quotidian things, and the richness of the ordinary.

I’ll probably delete this in the morning after patting myself on the back for finding a way to use the word “quotidian” in this post. It’s a beauty – a somewhat recent acquisition to my vocabulary. In terms of its delightfulness as a word, I put it right up there with “prestidigitation.”
