Beauty in the Mundane

Today I found joy in the mundane. I find it so odd how things like simple housework, laundry, clearing the kitchen or even clearing your desk after a long days work - how those things can keep us grounded. Some of the most human tasks, the action of organizing and caring for your environment and preparing it for more mundane human tasks to commence the next day is one of the things I take real tangible delight in. I think I’ve always taken delight in these simple tasks but never noticed this until I was older. Even something like keeping up basic hygiene is enjoyable. Things you sometimes feel obliged to do because it’s what you need to do, these things I find such peace in and these things I find myself relying on in the hard times. I also want to be careful to take them for granted. One day maybe the world won’t allow us to do these tasks in such peace and normality or maybe my body will decay to the point that I can’t do them myself anymore and will long to be able to rewind the clock and be able to again do them myself. Gosh I’m so grateful for the mundane normalities of every day, they keep me grounded and help me find peace, even if for a little moment. Thank you.
