Beauty in the Ordinary

This is not about being brilliant, or extraordinary, it's not about wanting to be famous, or making headlines, or trying to impress...this about sharing a 'gift' each day with the world...to lift the spirit of people when they read this blog, to show them the beauty in the ordinary.
"And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it." Raold Dahl

"Love Is Christmas"

I don’t care if the house is packed,
Or the strings of light are broken.
I don’t care if the gifts are wrapped,
Or there’s nothing here to open.

 Love is not a toy, and no paper will conceal it.
Love is simply joy that I’m home.

 I don’t care if the carpet's stained; we've got food upon our table.
I don’t care if it’s gonna rain, our little room is warm and stable.

 Love is who we are, and no season can contain it.
Love would never fall for that.

 We sing oooooooooooooooo
Oooooooooooooo
Ooooooooooooooooooooooo

 Let love lead us, love is Christmas.

 Why so scared that you’ll mess it up? When perfection keeps you haunted.
All we need is your best my love, that’s all anyone ever wanted.

 Love is how we do, let no judgment overrule it.
Love I look to you, and I sing.

 Oooooooooooooooooo
Oooooooooooo
Ooooooooooooooooooooo
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ooooooooooooooooo

 Let love lead us, love is Christmas.
Let love lead us, love is Christmas.

    Beautiful words - shouldn't forget them and enjoy a happy and relaxed Christmas. Perfection is probably overrated anyway ;-) Have a lovely week xo

      I think we all need to redefine perfection MP - so that it's not about the what and all about the who.

    A great song/poem. How many guests notice that much about the house...they remember the experience and the feeling they get at your house...

      Let's take this one day at a time though. All too big to deal with at once.

    I am here to tell you that blog commenting is one of the most powerful traffic generation methods around. I believe blog commenting has taken over what traditional article marketing used to be.
