Just an ordinary day

Today was an ordinary day for me.  No fantastic ideas, no real "ah-hah" moments.  Overall, I had a very good day at work and was able to get a lot accomplished.  I ate healthy.  I lived in the moment and got things done. 

And I think that's OK.  It is easy to get caught up in a book, or a movie, or watching sports and think that every moment has to be super meaningful and life-changing like what is often projected in movies, or seen on the sports field.  In reality, I believe our life is made up of the small, everyday consistencies over time rather than in big headlines.  I also think that staying true to your mission is important. And taking time to enjoy the "small" things in life.

So today I will call my boys and my wife and get caught up on their day.  Then I will go get some groceries, prepare for a big presentation tomorrow, prepare to teach my freshman boys later tomorrow evening, and then have a nice dinner while reading the autobiography of Benjamin Franklin.  Overall, a great day.  The kind of day that life is made of.
