Life at its best.

Project 365 * 2 -- Day 246

     I'm in love with this video: http://www.buzzfeed.com/ryanhatesthis/a-man-filmed-one-second-every-day-of-his-wifes-pregnancy-and.

     This video is life at its best. I've always thought it was the little moments. The ones that we might not think all too important that make us who we are. It's the laughter. The mealtimes. The tears. The fighting. The making up. The ordinary moments that when looked back upon are anything but ordinary. Life is happening everyday. In every car ride. In every diaper change. In every trip to the grocery store. In every tear cried over something silly. In every tear cried over something worth crying for. In every early morning. In every gorgeous sunset. In the snow. In the sun. At the beach. At home. In every kiss. In every smile.

     It's funny how when someone takes life and puts it to music, we see the beauty in the seemingly mundane. One must not take life for granted. One must not mistake life for ordinary. Or mundane. It is anything but. It is amazing. And beautiful. It's funny how when one looks at life in such a grand and unique way, it brings tears of joy. Yet, the lot of us go through every day of this grand and unique thing called life feeling quite uninspired. This should not be. This cannot be. One must see life as extraordinary. Because, simply put, it is extraordinary.

     Thankful for this video. It reminded me that there is no such thing as same old, same old. There is no such thing as just an ordinary day. There is no such thing as, "nothing happened," or "not much." There is always something beautiful and amazing happening. One must only open their eyes to see that.
