Extraordinary

 I have such an affection for this word.
 No one should ever feel ordinary.
 Extraordinary, with a cup of awesome!
  Life is at its best, can and is a struggle to survive. But.......that is not enough
  To survive, exist on this planet, is for moss.
 We humans, have evolved, I hope to see the remarkable. To see it, even in the moss! ( I have to tell my extraordinary yardman, leave my moss alone, I love it!)
  We are responsible for our extra!
  Our extraordinary in the ordinary, that is our story.
  This Sunday morning, while eating goat cheese and wheat thins for breakfast, I had to close my eyes and just be so thankful. Wheat thins make me think of my mom, and goat cheese, reminds me of the farmers market, when it was warm. Warm air, and mom, my extra.
  AND... a post I came across, (where I don't know?) ( I read all the time, you know that)
  10 Ways to Live an Extraordinary Life by Courtney Carver. I think she may have a blog also, guessing, bemorewithless, is listed above the article, could be something! Extra!
  The list
   1. Pay Attention *    ( * means I do this, could not find a check mark?)
   2. Be grateful *
   3. Stop comparing * ( so useless, never have done it)
   4. Let go (hard...work in progress, thanks to Frozen)
   5. Make space ( ?? throw stuff away?? clear our my head??)
   6. Admire small miracles *
   7.Slow down * ( not hard, I like slow)
   8.Write it down * ( all the time)
   9. Act like a tourist ( This is my favorite, I have never thought of this before. I will adopt this attitude right now. I love this number 9! Think how excited you are when seeing something grand for the first time. Your life should take your breath away! Where is my passport?? I will take it to the grocery store!)
   10. Be Extraordinary* (of course!)
 Now that is a good list. Most of it, we know, but do we practice it.

 Unplug ( how do you do that!)
 Realize that you are the one holding on, with a tight grip.
 Try to recall that first tomato of the summer
 A friends bellowing laughter.
 Sunshine, sunshine, sunshine

 Examine how you treat yourself and others. You are wonderful, the best. Treat others just as special.
 Paint a picture, write a story, cook a good meal, visit someone in a nursing home, live, live, live with utter abandon.
  Find the extra, or make some extra of your own! ( I just wanted to try the underline button, key)
  Atlanta is beautiful today, so let me go explore it.
  Sunday thoughts with a little Extra!!!!!!!!
