Finding the wonder in an ordinary life

Finding the Floor - A thoughtful approach to midlife motherhood and what comes next.

“…And make the ordinary come alive for them. The extraordinary will take care of itself.” In this episode I will be sharing a quote from William Martin from the book, The Parent's Tao Te Ching: Ancient Advice for Modern Parents. In this quote is the idea that we need to help our kids find wonder in the ordinary things and the extraordinary will take care of itself. I share a little bit from 3 Nephi chapters 1 and 2, that some of the people were no longer astonished about signs and wonders. I mention my youthful ideas, looking forward to extraordinary things and not realizing how wonderful and happy an ordinary life can be. I then explore the quote by Plutarch, who talks about our learning less like a vessel to be filled but wood that needs to be lit on fire. Finding wonder and being lit on fire - all good things to help us appreciate the goodness of an ordinary life.
