i was reading cup of jo today and read a quote that brought tears to my eyes. she applied it to motherhood, but i don't think you have to be a mother to understand it. these days we get bored with, the days that seem tedious and monotonous and sometimes lonely, are days we will one day long for. may i always be grateful for these "normal" days.
“Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. Let me hold you while I may, for it may not always be so. One day I shall dig my nails into the earth, or bury my face in the pillow, or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky and want, more than all the world, your return.”
― poem by Mary Jean Irion
