Thank God for the boring days. Somebody somewhere is praying for one.

GRATITUDE

WHAT THIS MEANS

An uneventful day is easy to overlook because nothing happens to mark it: no news, no crisis, nothing to tell anyone about afterward. But a day when everybody is fine and nothing breaks is precisely what people ask for once their lives have gone sideways. Calm is not the absence of something interesting. It is a condition whose value you tend to learn only after losing it for a while.

On the next flat, forgettable evening, stop for a second and name what is quietly going right. Homework done, nobody sick, a ride home. Do not wait for a reason, because the ordinariness is the reason.
