Ordinary

And while it takes courage to achieve greatness, it takes more courage to find fulfillment in being ordinary. For the joys that last have little relationship to achievement, to standing one step higher on the victory platform. What is the adventure in being ordinary? It is daring to love just for the pleasure of giving it away. It is venturing to give new life and to nurture it to maturity. It is working hard for the pure joy of being tired at the end of the day. It is caring and sharing and giving and loving.

Not much going on right now. It's just been pretty ordinary around here. But, maybe ordinary is okay.

I like that quote. It's kind of like your title quote, and I've always liked that one too.
