Extraordinarily Average

Hello everyone and thank you for all the amazing and uplifting comments.  I am truly blessed.

Have you ever had one of those days where if someone else looked in on your life might say "so what" or "it's no big deal" or mediocre, even??  Today, was one of those days for me.  It was a very cold morning and there was suppose to be a neighborhood yard sale.  Mom and I were up early to get started.  Who I am fooling?  We had been price tagging and getting stuff together all week!!  I guess the chill was too much for most people though...because it seemed like the yard sales didn't start until after 10:00 am.  Even at that time, it still had not warmed up a whole bunch.  So, I brewed some tea and Mom started arranging all her "stuff" in the drive way...and eventually I did too.  The yard sales began!! 

The sun was out and as long as I was sitting in it's rays...I was warm.  I have to say we were not overwhelmed by "takers" .  I can't complain though, because it gave Mom and I some great quiet time together.  We giggled and looked through old boxes that we packed away.  We reminisced over who wore a sweater last, and what grandchild played with a toy first and why she was selling this Pooh cup that both my sister and I loved when we were kids.  We shamefully mimicked some of our "customers"...ok maybe not so shamefully and we chatted with one of our neighbors that I had never even met. When the sales ended...Mom made a whopping $17 and I made $5.  Laughing....

I know, it seems terribly boring and average to you.  Oh but to me...these are the moments that are priceless.

I am off to bed now.  Don't forget to set your clocks back!!  I sure do love y'all!!!!!!!!!!!
