Here’s today’s mantra:
The card says: There is so much magic all around me all day long. Every day. It’s incredible. The trick is not to add more magic. It’s to see it.
My life, just as it is, is magical. Really, truly, magical. I know that it’s normal for us to work hard to achieve things and then, once there, to start seeing things as ordinary over time and to get used to them and to take them for granted. But I don’t want to do that. All my life, I wanted to live in America. All my life, I wanted to work with computers.
I live in not just America, but beautiful California. I work with computers at a job I love and a company I love. I have an incredible family whom I adore. A husband who’s been with me and loved me and accepted me for 22 years. I am healthy and can enjoy the sunshine every single day. My commute is from upstairs to downstairs.
I can go on and on. My life is full of magic. My kids are magic. My husband is magic. I want to step into all this magic and let it wash over me.
Sure, I have hard moments too. Sometimes many many of them. Sometimes I worry they will never end. But even in those dark times, there are moments of magic every single day. And if I don’t look for them, I can’t see them.

Beautiful. Thanks for the reminder: we all have magic in our lives, we just have to open our eyes.
