Miracles

I read something once that said, "Miracles cease to be, because of the disbelief in them". In fact, when you open your eyes and really look for miracles, they are everywhere.

You might think I am being naive, or that I am just weird, but I promise. I guarantee MIRACLES happen. Every.SINGLE.day.

I am typing on a miracle right now. 

My computer hasn't worked in over a year, and I desperately set it up last week in an attempt to -coughillegallycoughcough- send my friend a copy of a Kindle book, and the computer wouldn't stay on longer than three minutes. I have been having to use my iPhone (teeny tiny toilet, I mean, screen), or my iPad (complete with blue tooth keyboard)... but I have to admit, aside from an old typewriter (don't you love that, chunk, noise when you hit the space bar?), a laptop, or a computer is the next best thing. AND I didn't have one. 

So, okay, here's the miracle part. Those dark times in your life when you think everything is God awful and sucks beyond all reasoning and you curse the day and all the birds that sing in the trees and you want to kick something.... Those are the dark times before you are about to see a miracle. I got to work this morning and thought, I have 9 hours to upgrade my iPhone is the "new" (I waited a long time didn't I?) iOs. I backed up my phone and set it up to upgrade and walked away... When I went back to check it there was a "HOOK UP TO iTUNES" on the screen. That's right, no PHONE all day. ALL day. It doesn't sound like such a big deal, but it was to me. Especially since (if you recall) I didn't have a laptop to hook it up to iTunes. 

When I finally got home I turned on my laptop only to be informed that I didn't have the newest version of iTunes. I had to wait even longer. I was tense that at any moment the laptop would go to the BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH and I would lose my download. 

But it didn't.

It kept zipping along. And it has been working for over an hour now. Do you know what that means? 

It was a ..... MIRACLE!!!!!!!!!

Not only was I able to get my phone all fixed again, I am able to be on here, typing this post and able to WRITE my 3K words for the week! YAY FOR MIRACLES!
