Daily Magic

So, I decided to change my profile picture. Alert the media!

Clearly, it doesn't display my face. No witty sayings, no holiday significance. Just a magic princess wand. It was given to me by some very special people at a special time. I don't think I could even explain why it was such a great gift.

But I've used this photo to remind me to look for the magic in life every day, wand or not. Call it a blessing, luck, faith, fate, miracle, or whatever fits into your personal beliefs. 

Magic comes in all shapes and sizes. Maybe it's winning big in the lottery, or perhaps you found a forgotten $20 bill in your jeans. You might get an interview for a job you'd forgotten you even applied for, or you might get an email from a friend you haven't seen in years. Could be a lavish gift, could be an unexpected text when you're feeling down. A butterfly, a new baby, a show of affection, a shooting star, a special song...almost anything can be magical.

Perhaps instead of thinking that each day is filled with the same-old, same-old, I just need to recognize the magic in the everyday.

I think I'll go wave my princess wand now and enjoy how magical it makes me feel.
