A miracle. Distilled to its essence is simply a marvelous occurrence. Maybe today, A miracle can be the simple act of tuning inward and choosing a brighter outlook on what's ahead. As you make your way into this day. Consider the words of Albert Einstein. There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other. Is as though everything is a miracle. Begin to settle into this moment. Noticing your body breathing. Inviting your mind to soften. Your thoughts to slow down. Becoming a little more aware of your marvelous body. Inviting a wave of relaxation to pour over your forehead and temples. Allowing your jaw to release. Becoming aware of the muscles around your eyes. And all the little movements of your eyes. Appreciating the muscles in your face. The very ones that allow you to smile. Returning again to the rhythm of your breath. Noticing the rise and the fall of your chest and your belly. Let this be a reminder of all of the systems that are working together so beautifully right now to support you in being right here. Present. Aware. This heart that beats day in day out. These lungs that breathe. The nourishing food your body digests. The solid structure provided by your skeleton. The layers of muscles and fascia. Everything exquisitely tied together. Working together. You, My friend, Are a miracle. No matter what may come your way. You have the ability to shift. To grow. To change. Your body is working to keep you thriving. Through all the aches and pleasures. This body that helps you experience the world around you. And what a beautiful world it is. The colors in nature. The air we breathe. The gentle invisible support of gravity. Helping you to stay grounded. What is the ground you would like to be on today? Keep soft and steady. Quietly supportive. Find your way there. What else would you like to marvel at? Begin to consider your day ahead. What adventures await you? What may bring a smile to your face? What can you appreciate a little bit more? The little things. The big things. Your morning beverage. The nourishment of water. The warm shower you will bathe in. Go ahead and acknowledge your blessings. The more that you focus on them. The more they expand and grow. Let your heart open to life's pleasures. Take a moment now to set the intention to notice all the little wonders today. So that they may find their way to you a little bit easier. Gently begin to bring some movement into your body. Waking up to this day with a little bit more ease, A little bit more pleasure. A little bit more trust in the good things to come. Opening your eyes if they have been closed. Beginning to take in the world around you. Breathing in. . . Breathing out. Go gently, My friend.
