Why I blog...

I use this blog as a kind of therapy. Sometimes I'm happy and want to share it, sometimes it's just a random thought and sometimes it's to deal with things in my past. After all a burden shared is a burden halved

There is beauty in the mundane


In a world often dazzled by the allure of glamorous careers and extraordinary lifestyles, it's easy to overlook the beauty in the mundane. Not all of us are destined for jobs that whisk us away to exotic locales or fill our days with jaw-dropping experiences. Sometimes, our reality entails the everyday grind, the seemingly mundane tasks that keep the wheels of life turning.

But here's the thing: there's profound beauty in the routine, in the ordinary moments that make up the fabric of our lives. It's in the quiet morning rituals, the daily commute, and the simple pleasures of home. These moments may not make the headlines or garner Instagram likes, but they are the threads that weave the tapestry of our existence.

Moreover, embracing the mundane can cultivate a deeper appreciation for the extraordinary when it does come our way. Mundanity serves as a contrast, highlighting the moments of excitement, adventure, and wonder. It reminds us to savour those experiences, to cherish them as the gems they truly are.


So, while we may not all have jobs that lead us on glamorous escapades, there's a quiet elegance in the ordinary. It's in finding contentment in the everyday and gratitude for the extraordinary when it graces our lives. Embrace the mundane, for within its simplicity lies the essence of life itself.
