We all wait for Christmas miracles. When I was little I believed it would happen no matter what, I believed it till the very last minute of the New Year`s night. Then I started growing up and I started losing my faith in miracles. I`ve become tougher and more sceptical, I`d say. However, every December I feel something nice and magical happening around all over again. I may have stopped waiting for something extraordinary to happen, or so I thought, but in the end of the day I`m still a dreamer and I will always be one. And then, just a few days ago I realized something. Something that I`ve always known and felt but never really payed attention to. I realized I have a miracle. And it happens every year (or should I say it happens every day to each and every one of us?), I just don`t try hard enough to notice it. This miracle is love. This miracle is the realization how lucky I am. How strong my love is and how many people I have, who I can give this love to. How many things there are in my life that make me happy and cheer me up. How amazing my family and my loved ones are. This is not something I constantly feel, but it`s even better this way. It rushes suddenly into my mind and it floods every inch of me with the strongest love possible. When I eat a delicious clementine, or when I smell a Christmas tree, or when I hear a Christmas song, or when I watch a Christmas movie, or when my fingers are frozen, or when I notice a snowflake on my eyelash.. And this feeling don`t last long as well, but when it leaves...it never leaves me empty or sad, it only leaves happiness and gratefulness and Christmas cheer. And then I would think...for God`s sake I don`t need any other miracle. I already have SO MUCH. Yes, maybe it`s not ideal or maybe it`s not how I expected or wanted it to be. Maybe someone I really really love lives very far away and I don`t get to see them this often or maybe someone who makes me happy doesn`t even know how much I love them and how much they mean to me. Maybe it`s not perfect (nothing is ever perfect). But I have them/this all in my life. I know them/this and they/this will always be with me and they/this will always be a part of who I am. No matter what. And this is the greatest miracle of all. Love. Don`t take what you have for granted. Christmas time is not about you getting a new IPhone or a computer or a dress or a car or whatever (even if you think you cannot live without it)...this time is about you looking back and noticing everything you`ve been through and noticing who helped you to get through it and who`s been by your side all this time...And this is the time to be grateful and give your love to those who deserves it, who stands by you, who lifts you up when you fall and who loves you for who you really truly are, unconditionally. Let`s spread this love. Let`s notice this love. And then each of our lives will be a miracle.
