Everyday Magic: January 2012

You can become blind by seeing each day as a similar one. Each day is a different one; each day brings a miracle of it's own. It's just a matter of paying attention to its miracles.
--Paulo Coelho

What is Everyday Magic?

Childhood for me ws a magical time. I had a great imagination and looked at the world in a different way. As I grew up, that seemed to go away. So, I decided that one way to bring back a sense of the magic of childhood in my life is to look for "magic" every day. What I mean by "magic" at this time in my life (4th decade!) are those things that cause a laugh, sense of wonder, a sense of "coincidence" or serendipity. Just something that makes you look at the world in a different way. The purpose of this blog is to help me be aware of everyday magic and record what I find.

What is Every Day Magic?

One of the things I miss most from my childhood is that sense of magic you had every day. You know - when you believed that elves lived in the roots of trees in mushroom houses, that Santa really flew around the world and came down your chimney, and that little tiny rock bands were inside your car's radio playing tunes. At least that's what was magic to me. Then, you grow up and the magic is gone. There's hardly any reason to use your imagination at all and if you do, people look at you pretty strangely. I decided that one way to bring back a sense of the magic of childhood in life is to look for "magic" every day. What I mean by "magic" at this time in my life (4th decade!) are those things that cause a laugh, sense of wonder, a sense of "coincidence" or serendipity. Just something that makes you look at the world in a different way. The purpose of this blog is to help me be aware of everyday magic and record what I find.
