Keep believing in the here-and-now,

down-to-earth, everyday

kind of miracles,

like the first star emerging

in the evening sky,

the sun breaking

through a storm,

and that amazing rainbow

over your world.

Catch a glimpse of heaven

in every person's face.

Keep believing in bright endings

in giving more than you receive,

and in the overwhelming goodness of people.

See the miracle of each new day

as spectacular and unique

as the sunrise that brings it.

See the miracle of even the tiniest snowflake,

each totally different from another,

just like each one of us-

no other like you in the whole world.

Miracles come wrapped in a stranger's smile,

in kind word just when you need it most,

and, especially, in a friend's hug.

Every time someone makes a difference

in someone else's life,

it's a tiny miracle.

Everyday miracles

are always happening.

Just open your eyes.

You may not have to see it

to believe it,

but you may have to believe it

to see it.
