Every moment can’t be a parade

Elysha sent this to me. It made me laugh aloud.

It also worries me.

I encounter people who seem to expect every moment of life to be deep, meaningful, and vibrating with energy when, sometimes, you just need to empty the dishwasher.

Don;t get me wrong:

I’m the biggest believer in making something out of nothing. I look for joy in the tiniest things. I try to extract meaning wherever possible.

I’m relentless in this pursuit.

But every moment can’t be a parade.

Sometimes, we do what needs to be done or do the only thing we can to hopefully make it to the parade someday.
