Happy Friday!
It’s a beautiful day here in Columbia Maryland. The sun is
out and the flowers sure do seem to be happy...
Along with the sun and warmer temperatures comes the
wonderful East Coast humidity that changed my life last summer. I was
definitely feeling it last night after my run, and BELIEVE ME this is not me
complaining. There’s never anything wrong with working up a nice sweat. Bring
on summer.
Last night also entailed me crying for two hours over the
Office Series finale. I wish I was exaggerating… but I would be lying if I said
I was. Pretty sure there were tears in my eyes for at least 50% of the finale.
That might sound a bit absurd, crying over a television
show? Maybe it is; that’s fine. And as a disclaimer, I’m not a huge TV girl at all. I actually sometimes resent watching too much TV, and loved my time spent
in CO when my townhouse didn’t have cable at all. I strongly feel as a country we
sit on our asses way too often, and excessive time in front of the tube
detracts from so many beautiful areas of life. Don’t get me wrong, Andrew and I
have our movie nights and all that jazz. But I guess I’ve just grown to believe
that mindlessly sitting in front of the TV with your friends, or significant
others takes away from real interactions and conversations that could be
happening.
That’s my rant on T.V. But yes, I was and probably always
will be an AVID Office fan, starting in the Fall of 2009 when I decided to
bring myself up to speed on all of the seasons… just in time to bawl myself
through Jim & Pam’s wedding.
WHY am I devoting almost an entire post to a television
series? Hear me out. In short, I feel
like this was a real series. It had a point. It was funny, hysterical at times,
but it just held so much freaking truth. And it was about life. It made me want to live
a real, hard, fought-for love like Jim and Pam. And to hold on tightly to friendships like Phyllis
and Stanley had.
The title of this post comes from my favorite quote from the
finale last night, when Pam AKA Jenna Fischer eloquently summed up the show by
simply saying:
“There’s a lot of beauty in ordinary things...isn’t that the point?”
Amen sister. Beauty in what may seem like just a
normal office job. Beauty in the flowers you walk by every day, and the
relationships you hold, no matter how big or small. Stop and find that beauty.
Thanks to The Office for many beautiful years together. I
have my doubts that a television series will ever hit the spot like this one.
It was quite the ride.
That’s what she said.
i miss pb + j already.
