A day spent watching movies while the storm built and the snow fell was a true example of ordinary joy within the past 24 hours. However our prompt for the day on reverb10 has asked us to think a little mre broadly than the last 24 hours. The prompt said...
Ordinary joy.
Our most profound joy is often experienced during ordinary moments. What was one of your most joyful ordinary moments this year?Imagine narrowing it down to one moment of ordinariness and/or joy? So here I go ....
Art journaling at the dining table
The love bud given by a teacher and it traveled the city and country during February
The old gum trees in the school yard in Melbourne, their size and quantity was amazing
The street theatre that is NYC in this case a piano accordionist in Central Park
The ever changing reflections in the building around us
The "time keeper" at the crossing in the Bronx- he has a kitchen clock around his neck
The cup cake cart in the street in NYC
Spiderman posing on the Harley with the Harley riders clustered around taking a photo
A far from ordinary person , Cheryl, from Manahattan Scrapbooking where chatting over our work at a crop brings great joy from the discussion of the ordinary, everday things in our lives.
The changing seasons
The enthusiasm with which the changing seasons are acknowledged and celebrated
A boy played with the plasticine on the table in his mother (the principal)'s office and she left it there until he came back the next day and made something else with it.
Walking through the Treasury Gardens in Melbourne
The appearance of street vendors outside schools when there is a glimpse of sun or warmth a sure sign of spring
The man dressed as a banana on the corner of 42nd St and 7th Ave at 7:30am- some people get the fun jobs?!
The parades that seem to be constant in the city from April through to November
All these moments happened just this past year... so how could I have narrowed it down to one.

I think the fact that you couldn't narrow down your list is super. It says so much about how you truly love life and what you experience!!
Loved looking back with you at things you had posted over the year. Great pictures and loved seeing them again.
Looking forward to your posts for 2011!
