As much as I live in miracle-consciousness, there are times during which I develop ‘spiritual amnesia’ and forget how extraordinary life is.  At this moment of writing the entry you are reading, I am experiencing too many to count.  I will share a few of them, a full sensory array….in fleece pj’s under flannel sheets and comforter in my toasty room, while gazing out the window at the brrrrr brisk snow covered yard.  As I peruse the walls, I see color and light, whimsy and wonder; books that reflect my varied interests, photos, prints, colorful scarves, vision boards I have created to dance my dreams to life.  Sipping tea to ease into the day.  Listening to Sarah Maclachlan singing Ordinary Miracle.<\/em><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

It’s not that unusual
When everything is beautiful
It’s just another
Ordinary miracle today<\/p>\n

The sky knows when it’s time to snow
Don’t need to teach a seed to grow
It’s just another
Ordinary miracle today<\/p>\n

Life is like a gift, they say
Wrapped up for you everyday
Open up, and find a way
To give some of your own<\/p>\n

Isn’t it remarkable?
Like everytime a raindrop falls
It’s just another
Ordinary miracle today<\/p>\n

The birds in winter have their fling
And always make it home by spring
It’s just another
Ordinary miracle today<\/p>\n

When you wake up everyday
Please don’t throw your dreams away
Hold them close to your heart
‘Cause we are all a part<\/p>\n

Of the ordinary miracle<\/p>\n

Ordinary miracle<\/p>\n

Do you want to see a miracle<\/p>\n

It seems so exceptional
That things work out after all
It’s just another
Ordinary miracle today<\/p>\n

The sun comes out and shines so bright
And disappears again at night
It’s just another
Ordinary miracle today<\/p>\n

It’s just another
Ordinary miracle today <\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

I know how blessed I am to have friends and family who I call my ‘treasures’; priceless and adored.  I get to do creative work that I love for which I am abundantly compensated. Daily, I connect with amazing people (some through this blog) and have wondrous experiences. I see synchronicity and serendipity everywhere. What I need arrives right on time. I am spreading my wings and taking what I call ’emotional bungee jumping’ risks and always, always, always land on my feet.<\/font><\/p>\n

I invite you today, to look at your life through miracle eyes…what do you see?<\/font><\/p>\n
