Ordinary Miracles

Each day is full of ordinary miracles, with moments of unexpected pleasure waiting around every corner.

When we remain mindful, fully connected with life and tuned in to the moment at hand, we catch these little gems as they are tossed our way.

Life becomes less a chore, and more an exciting endeavor, when we enter the flow of life, with gratitude in our heart and a smile on our lips.

Just for today, keep your eyes open for the ordinary miracles in your life:

Good Vibrations ~ a genuine smile from a stranger, a steaming mug of aromatic coffee or tea (reminding us that our cup overflows with joy), an enveloping  sense of well-being, a comforting hug

Love and laughter ~ a sticky hug from a child, a renewed connection with a cherished friend, steadfast devotion from a loyal pet (or spouse!), the delight of a well told joke

Flowing Grace ~ finding our car keys first try, a string of green lights, a parking spot in just the right spot, feeling good in our “skinny” jeans

Joy and Peace ~ a song that makes our heart soar, a breathtaking sunset or sunrise, a subtle breeze stirring the treetops or tugging our hair

Abundance and Nourishment ~ the taste of summer wrapped up in a perfect peach or saucy tomato, a hot bowl of hearty soup on a cool evening, a cold drink on a hot summer day

Beauty and Wonder ~ watching an eagle in flight or the silent flutter of butterflies, absorbing the night sky on a cloudless night, pondering the perfection of a single grain of sand

When we remain mindful of ordinary miracles, we begin to see, touch, taste, and FEEL the flow of life.

As the constant chatter of our monkey minds slows down, our awareness of simple pleasures grows, and we are showered with perfect moments with increasing frequency.
