{Magic of the Mundane}

Today, I am joining Sofia over at Sofia's Ideas for Magic of the Mundane. I so love this idea because it totally falls in line with my desire to get back to simple. It can be a picture, a poem or song, a short video or anything else that celebrates the Magic. So often, we get caught up in "where we're going" that we forget to look at the beauty of "where we are."

So you see that really sexy boot up there?  That's mine....it's new.  They only gave me one, but I'm actually quite grateful that I don't have a matching pair.  Something you might not know about me is that my parents wasted A LOT (in my opinion) of money on dance lessons on me when I was a child. First of all, because I hated it...well, not the dancing so much, but the dance teacher...another story, for another day.  Secondly, because I'm about as graceful as a pig on ice.  Seriously....that boot up there is proof. This is what happens when you fall asleep on the sofa, wake up at 1:00 a.m. and remember that you need to let the neighbor's dogs in the house for the evening.  You go across the street, half asleep, and don't get your foot completely on the step, roll you ankle and fall on your own foot. Thank goodness for the sweet, strapping young man I gave birth to that got me back home and in bed...Needless to say it was a fun thing to explain to Car Guy in the morning when I told him I really need to go see a doctor....yup, one foot, two broken bones...Can you say talent?  That's me....I'm that kid that spent all her charm school money on bubble gum. What does this have to do with Magic of the Mundane and appreciating the every day?  I REALLY appreciate walking without crutches and without pain.  I appreciate sleeping through the night without waking up every time I roll over. I now truly appreciate the everyday that I took for granted. Think about it for a minute...what if you couldn't walk on your own....fix a meal without wearing yourself out...drive a car....so many things that are everyday occurrences that are just a part of life...you know, like walking up a step without falling on your face....oh wait, you can do that?  Must be nice :)

By the way, I am fine if not slightly frustrated.  I should be back to normal...well normal for me...in about 8 to 12 weeks.  I apologize now if blogging and commenting are sporadic.  Be careful out there and watch where you're going.  You never know what might jump out at you!

P.S. There was no alcohol involved and I wasn't chewing gum...I'm just that clumsy.
