"There are signal moments, burst of excitement, times of dislocation and distress, buried within long stretches of uneventful everyday. . .
They create a blanket of real life, woven day by day until the thing is all of a piece."
~ Anna Quindlen, Lots of Candles, Plenty of Cake

uneventful everyday . . .

These two words drift around inside my head for a few days, helping me better understand what it takes to make a life piece by piece. Some of it bold and exciting, some of it painful and confusing. But the act of piecing it all together is always a privilege and I am going to pay a little bit more attention on how I assemble mine.
