Beauty in the mundane

Published by

A while back I resolved to go out for a walk every morning before work begins, and this simple routine has fast become one of the highlights of my day. 

Comfortable running shoes โ˜‘๏ธ Warm jacket โ˜‘๏ธ Airpods โ˜‘๏ธ My favourite worship songs queued โ˜‘๏ธ And of course, my wristwatch because those steps have got to count. 

I pause occasionally to capture some stunning views. Once in a while I run into a stranger and we strike a conversation about any and everything – always funny to me how I can be so introverted, yet Iโ€™m a sucker for a good conversation. 

I head home in time to fix a quick breakfast before my first meeting of the day, sometimes making a stop at the grocery store to buy my favourite sourdough bread. 

My walk is always a little more exciting when I can get a picture of an oncoming train, a little gift for my train-obsessed children. 

The views over the next few months will be different, as the yellows and browns of fall give way to the brilliant (and sometimes muddy) whites of winter. 

Indeed โ€˜He changes times and seasonsโ€ฆโ€™ – Daniel 2:21.

    Beauty in nature….beauty in everyday things… your unique writing style and expressions give beauty to the otherwise mundane things. You could write about the character of a flowing stream or a the story of a smooth peble and we would still read with interest.
