I have a daily rhythm with one of my favorite people. We’ve been doing this informally for a long time, but recently, we’ve given it a name: WDT—Weird Daily Tidbit. We enjoy making each other’s day a little more quirky, and by “weird,” I mean innocuously strange in a fun way.
Like last week, when she sent me a photo of an avocado she had just sliced. When she cut it open, the pit inside was surprisingly pointy. That’s all — just a weird photo of a weird avocado.
On another day, she asked, “Is ‘Cotton Eye Joe’ in a major or minor key?” It’s obviously in a major key, but the way she asked made me stop and think about it. In return, I sent her a WDT — a recording of me singing it in a minor key.

My Mom stayed with me last week, and now that she’s back home, we caught up the next day on a few tidbits of daily life. I shared something about my yard, something I probably wouldn’t have mentioned if she hadn’t visited. We also ended up talking about what she had for dinner on the way home and what I was planning for lunch today.
Just daily tidbits. Not necessarily weird — just everyday, mundane details we share because we’re part of each other’s lives.
Whether it’s weird or just routine, isn’t it lovely to have people with whom we can share the little things of daily life?

So often, it’s the little every day happenings and observances, i.e., the little ordinary things, that make life the most interesting, fun, and sometimes amazing!
