“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.”
Albert Einstein
I just love that Einstein quote. I don’t remember when I first heard it, but I have quoted it to my children and now my grandchildren for years.
If you have been reading my blogs for a few weeks/months you will know that I believe that anything can happen, and that we are all complicit in what does happen. So I greet everyday as if it were a miracle as indeed it is.
The sunrise this morning was spectacular. So my day started with a miracle. Unfortunately, the photo I took seems to have been inadvertently deleted and so I am using an earlier one taken at the beach.
“Next time a sunrise steals your breath or a meadow of flowers leaves you speechless, remain that way. Say nothing, and listen as heaven whispers, “Do you like it? I did it just for you.”
Max Lucado
I have just arrived home (10.45 pm) from my regular Wednesday afternoon/evening with my son and his family. We were given a beautiful sunset so my day started with a miracle and ended with one too.
Sunsets are the prelude to another beautiful day. And whatever happens the sun will rise tomorrow.

It’s so late that I will have to pay lip service only to A Post A Day for today and do better tomorrow.

Some amazing and astonishing things have happened in my life. I believe in miracles.
Thanks Carl and may you have many more astonishing things happen to you.
Beautiful sunrise. Some things are miracles, others coincidences and still others serendipitous…I believe…and have faith there is a surprise waiting around the corner in some form or other.
And I believe in Angels and dreams.. I love the ABBA song I Believe in Angels. Thanks for the comment Georgette,
I fully endorse all of that – its so easy to take miracles for granted. I just posted a cynical sunset poem yesterday – that old blogosphere telepathy again?
This telepathy is certainly fantastic Cat.
One of my favorite quotes!
Thanks suziCate
Fantastic!!
My sentiments exactly! Miracles are all around, we just have to open our eyes! 😉
It’s so easy to miss them too.
Thanks for the quotes!
You’re welcome.
A very beautiful post Judith. It reminds me to look more often at the world and enjoy the promise of miraculous things to come.
And those miracles are in the hear and now – they are all around us. 🙂
Great quotes Judith==and thanks for the reminder to slow down and appreciate!
Enjoy the miracles as they appear Thomas. 🙂
Sometimes less is more, Judith. This was enough. I hope you had a pleasant night, and I wish you the best of Thursdays.
Thanks Lenore and I hope you have/had a good Thursday too.
Beautiful photo Judith and your words make me smile 🙂
Thank you Stacia.
I love that Einstein quote! I do believe in miracles and they are so much more amazing if we have our mind open to fully appreciate them 🙂
I believe in miracles, angels and even some fairy tales. Thanks for the comment Janna. 🙂
I so believe in miracles! Thanks for the beautiful sunrise and sunset pictures.
Thanks Darlene. We just have to recognise just how many miracles there are in this life.

I’ve been wondering where to stand to find the perfect place to take a sunset photo … then it struck me … the perfect place to watch any susnet is wherever you are when the sun goes down. 🙂
I do agree Sallyann. The perfect place is wherever you happen to be. 🙂
to notice the miracles of each day is a gift indeed. Whether a sunset, the birth of a child, or a butterfly flitting by. Or knowing someone has overcome horrendous odds to live abundantly.. Life truly is miraculous.
I agree Joss and we need to celebrate the miracles each and every day. What would our lives be like without them?
absolutely Judith!
TY! I believe in miracles too. 😉
Thanks Elizabeth. Just moving through 900 plus emails that awaited me on my return from vacation. I shall get around to reading everybody’s posts and responding very soon. 🙂
And then there are rainbows…:) Loved this post, Judith.
Thanks Patti. 🙂
According to Einstein we can live our lives as though everything is a miracle. I think the miracle is that we are alive.
I really am trying Uta. 🙂
