Ordinary Miracles

This is a song by Sarah McLachlan that I love:

It's not that unusual
When everything is beautiful.
It's just another ordinary miracle today.

The sky knows when it's time to snow,
Don't need to teach a seed to grow.
It's just another ordinary miracle today.

Life is like a gift they say
Wrapped up for you everyday;
Open up and find a way
To give some of your own.

Isn't it remarkable?
Like every time a raindrop falls,
It's just another ordinary miracle today.

Birds in winter have their fling
But always make it home by spring.
It's just another ordinary miracle today.

When you wake up every day
Please don't throw your dreams away;
Hold them close to your heart
'Cause we're all a part
Of the ordinary miracle
Ordinary miracle

Do you want to see a miracle?

It seems so exceptional
That things just work out after all
It's just another ordinary miracle today.

Sun comes up and shines so bright
And disappears again at night.
It's just another ordinary miracle today.
It's just another ordinary miracle today.

Jeff and I were talking about lyrics to songs tonight - he gave an assignment to his Music Appreciation class to pick a favorite song and find out the lyrics. Most were shocked at the disgusting and horrible things their favorite songs had.

What an absolutely beautiful song... I too have heard it, but never took the time to listen to what it really said. I started crying as it got to the end.... boy hormones are fun.

Thank you for showing me such an uplifting song. Thanks for checking on me too - you are such a great friend. I am improving everyday and have our bags packed to head to DISNEYLAND with Jeff's band tomorrow morning!!! Cross your fingers for a puke-free weekend at the happiest place on earth!

Wow this comment is long.....
