Don’t Lose the Magic

September 15, 2015 by still a dreamer

It’s so easy to do … losing the magic. But because it’s so easy is exactly why it’s so important that we hold on to it.

FairyLight-LivingRoom2

I walked into my living room late yesterday afternoon, and there in one corner was this amazing scatter of brilliant little lights. White, yellow, blue. They were enchanting. Magical. For a moment I allowed myself to believe I was visited by fairies.

Now those of you grounded in reality can quickly surmise where those little lights came from, as I soon figured out myself, but for that one moment, I saw magic.

Our lives are too often so crazy-busy that we can let that sense of magic, our sense of wonder, slip through our hands if we’re not careful. No matter how much we love what we do, and are happy with much in our lives, there is still – for just about everyone I know, unfortunately – a boatload of stress. Magic is a wonderful antidote.

Look for a little in your life. I’m sure it’s there.

    Thank you for the reminder. I do get caught up in the details of life and need to remind myself or have a friend give me a nudge..to stop and smell the roses. The magic is all around us if we just stay present and take a look.
    I was waiting until vacation at the beach this weekend, but now that you mention it…..why am I waiting. I shall look for the magic today.

      Hey Toni! Happy to give you that nudge. 🙂 Have a wonderful time at the beach – that is always magic, isn’t it? I’ll hopefully be having lunch with someone tomorrow where I’ll be passing a wonderful farm, perfect for a first pick of apples, mums, homemade sugar cinnamon doughnuts, and perhaps an early pumpkin. Thanks, also, for your order – I’ll get it going! xoxoxo Jeanne

      I’m glad to know people who see magic, too. I’m hoping you find plenty today, Cynthia. 🙂
