Courtney, this was such a sparkling read. it felt like sipping a glass of wine at golden hour. Your list manages to turn the mundane into magic, like cherry juice dripping down the chin of a summer memory.
I once captured the perfect photo of my cat mid-yawn, and I swear it felt like winning an Oscar for Best unscripted Moment. Do you ever look at those endless kid photos and wonder if your phone secretly judges you for storage usage? (Mine certianly did)
Also, the line painting nails with one small chip—chef’s kiss.
It’s the tiny imperfections that make these moments even more yours, aint it?
Fun idea for a post! These moments are what it’s all about. Thanks for sharing, and in doing so encouraging me to reflect on my own ordinary moments. Top of mind for me recently are all the stroller jogs I’ve been getting in with my boys. We have a playlist curated by Mick Jagger that we like to sing along to together 😎
I love this list. The other day at the beach I ate a juicy plum and it was the best. I also watched my kids building, splashing, digging, and I thought, it’s so much easier at the beach this year than last year!!
Ordinary is the BEST! For me, it'd be lying on the beach listening to the waves, no work, no phone, no reading, just enjoying the beach, the sun and the waves. I did that yesterday-priceless feeling. https://substack.com/@coffeebreaknewsletter/note/c-64061576
