Day 27

 

The other day I had the privilege of sleeping until 9 o’clock in the morning.  After staying up until 2 something in the morning writing a 31 Days post.  Ahem.  Always upon rising I walk to the great room window to look out on the world.  That day, I could not believe my eyes.  The light was exquisite!

Immediately, I grabbed my camera, stuffed my feet into my red Sloggers, and dashed out the front door. The last thing on my mind was being concerned that my neighbors would wonder about me wandering around the front yard of another, taking photos in my jim jams.

The grass was sparkling with diamonds….tree branches were laden with the most beautifully faceted flaming jewels.  So beautiful….it was intoxicating.   Yes…Extraordinary!

Flinging myself into the beauty before me…glorying in the light and the leaves…allowing my heart to be filled to overflowing.  For me…that’s living life to the full.  That’s being Extraordinary.

 

 

What was your recent extraordinary experience?

Do you allow yourself this ridiculous freedom?

What makes your heart sing with joy?

 

 

Why be Ordinary when You can be Extraordinary!

 

Savoring the memory…

    I’m not sure what has been a recent extraordinary experience, but I’m heading out for some time of vacation with my hubby in a cabin in the woods. So I hope to have some extraordinary moments and views while there. Thanks for the beautiful pics and inspiring post, Diane!
