Miracles

“People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child -- our own two eyes. All is a miracle.”
― Thich Nhat Hanh


All is a miracle.  How true.  Everyday when we open our eyes, we start a new day full of miracles.  The only people who seem to view life this way, are children.  We take waking up for granted.  We just assume when we go to sleep at night, that our eyes will open in the morning.  What if they didn't?  Are you happy with your life?  Are you at peace with how you've lived, and the decisions you've made?

I'm working towards contentment.  Working to make sure that I feel like I've lived a good life when I go to sleep at night, that I feel at peace with the way I've behaved, treated other people, and the decisions I made that day.

I wonder, if we all changed one thing about our day if we would be happier?
