Little Miracles

My heart is full today

I fed birds on my way to work

Saw the first spring blossom

Got hugs from my students

(even those I was sure secretly hate me because I’m a strict teacher)

I shared things

Shared my food

My knowledge

My warmth

And they shared with me too

I had a laugh with my colleagues at work

And watched my students dig up the soil in the yard in search of fossils

I felt fulfilled

I felt like I’ve done it right today

I saw people smile at street dogs

I smiled too

I had an unexpected coffee break looking at the sea and breathing

I got a kind message from a friend

Chatted with my niece on the other side of the world

I picked up my son from kindergarten and bought him a pack of gummy bears

And then I walked home with him holding the most precious little hand in the world

As he shared what he learned today

Just an ordinary day

Home-work-home

The usual routine

But it felt extraordinary

It felt special

Like every day should feel

Like every day can feel

If you notice those little miracles
