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.
