July 16

Nothing really stood out to me in an exceptional way today. The day was, in its most basic form, rather ho-hum, marked by swimming lessons and a trip to Target and video game play and rounds of Go Fish and Memory.

So it seemed logical to use a ho-hum kind of photo. This is a sight that I have at least once a week: Abby and the Little Boys sitting around a table in the Target Starbucks, eating something or other.

It's an everyday sight, yes, but I'm using it because it's important to remember that every single day --even the most boring days of all that consist of nothing but one executed routine after another-- is a gift.
