The most beautiful and meaningful moments in life (the ones that you will remember and look back on fondly) are the everyday, ordinary, 'mundane' moments; watching the kids favorite program with them, going for a walk and noticing the things that a 2 year old notices, sharing an orange, watching the kids faces as they sleep, hot chocolate on a rainy day, just sitting with friends or family around a favorite table or under a favorite tree and chatting, cooking something you know they'll love, welcoming them home...

On a recent 'Oprah' they were asking people how they would spend the day if they had only one day left to live. Nearly everyone said they would spend it with their loved ones doing normal, everyday things.

You can find the sacred in the mundane if your heart is open in gratitude.

I completely agree with you; mudane is in the eye of the beholder.

I wish I could have had a mom like you,
