Five Minute Friday: Ordinary

It's a Five Minute Friday, the part of the week where I link up with The Gypsy Mama.  Each Friday we're given a topic and challenged to write for 5 minutes flat!  No correcting, no incessant re-writing, just type from your heart and hit Publish Post.  Ba da bing, ba da boom.  That's all there is too it.

I've not participated in 5-Minute Fridays in forever and it feels pretty good to be back.

So here goes nothing . . .

Today's topic is:  ORDINARY . . .


GO:

When I think of the ordinary, I also think of the extraordinary.  Every ordinary moment has the opportunity to be extraordinary.  Sometimes I think the extraordinary is in fact the ordinary.  I believe we're all extraordinary, in our own ordinary way.

I try to go through life, each ordinary day after the next, making my way toward the extraordinary which hides within my ordinary day to day events.  I just have to tap into it.  If only I'd look for it and I'd see that it was there all the time.

I hold the extraordinary inside of me and sometimes I let it hide, out of fear of rejection.  But if I give my ordinary self a chance, I know I can shine in my own ordianry way; and MY ordinary, just might be someone elses idea of extraordinary.

Yes, I'm quite content to know that ordinary doesn't just mean so, so.  I can make any ordinary path and extraordinary journey.  I just have to believe in myself and where I'm going.  Ordinary is not a bad thing, it's good.  It's a path to everything extraordinary.

STOP.
