Ordinary is the new extraordinary

I have heard this expression a few times of late. And each time I like it.

A friend of mine had been talking about how her ordinary days are the best. The time spent with friends and family, just doing regular stuff is what is making the difference. It's not the fancy hotels and the amazing restaurants, it's just the plain and simple ordinary,

The regular day doing simple things. That is what is  is making the difference and becoming the most memorable. 

This weekend was filled with ordinary moments and it was magical.

Having an ice cream in Germany's best creation the "Eiscafe", namely an ice cream cafe. Ok maybe some would argue their cars are better, but whatever. Anyway having ice cream with grandma, was a precious moment. As was watching one daughter do homework with her grandpa. Then there was today's magnificent brunch with friends in the sunshine under a beautiful sky, just like last weekends long and lazy brunch with other friends.

These ordinary things are extraordinary.

We are all healthy and happy and able to enjoy each other so freely. And all of it just a tram ride away.

So what ordinary things are you doing right now?

Would you agree with them being extraordinary?
