‘Live your life as if nothing is a miracle or everything is a miracle.’-Albert Einstein

Higher Power whispers, ‘pay attention to the miracles today; EVERYTHING is a miracle…’

I looked at my spouse and I said internally, ‘You are a miracle’…

I looked at my children and I said internally, ‘You are a miracle’…

These precious ones whom I love so much, yet I shut off my love because of bitterness and resentment over them not sticking to my script as to how I think they should be.

I looked at the Canada geese behind my house and said internally, ‘You are miracles’… I am often annoyed with them because they poop and my dogs eat the poop, (because dogs are gross…). I got to enjoy the beauty of watching a few of them bathe in the pond, alone and undisturbed.

I looked at my dirty dishes and said internally, ‘ You are miracles’… in gratitude over the fact that I have dishes to eat from, hot water to use, and a dishwasher.

The list goes on.

The level of love and gratitude I will carry through this day because of this awareness of the blessings of all things miraculous, is a spiritual weapon to fight the automatic negative thoughts.

Higher Power whispered, ‘ok, now tell them…’

So, this morning, the first thing I said to my husband after saying ‘good morning’…’You are a miracle‘. His response: ‘Thank you, I could use a miracle’. Interesting that what I said was something he felt he was to receive, vs. something he already is.
