Three Miracles
Do you believe in miracles, my dear friends? I certainly do!
During my 26-year-old journey on this planet I have witnessed it many times. It
was sometimes visible. I happened to smell it. I even touched it. And what's
more I felt it - this wonderful warmth in my heart, like birds singing, like
the sun shining just for me. It must be very similar when one runs unstoppably,
with his\her hair flying in the air...Freedom...Oh, yeah, it must feel good!
Today I woke up without any great expectations. It was
another cloudy morning. Well, I'm lying. I did expect something. I badly wanted
something amazing to happen. I really felt something in the
air...and...Allright let me tell you about three miracles I have experienced
today. Are you ready? Be sure to sit cozily, please. Don't forget to breathe in
deeply. You can even fasten your seatbelts! (in case of probable crazy laughter
attacks) :-D So,
ready, steady, go? ;)
Miracle # 1.
This very morning my mama and I were sitting in the kitchen,
sipping our green tea and travelling to our past hectic university days...We
were laughing about our exam adventures, wondering how all the professors were
doing...and...and...and...my mobile phone started to miaow...(Haha...don't
think I am totally crazy...well, just a bit! My mobile ringtone is a sweet
kitty miaow!). I saw a familiar name on the screen...I was ready to lose my
breath! I could not believe my eyes...It was my dear professor...I picked up my
phone and heard her melodic voice! The following ten minutes was a total mix of
sharing our news with each other, laughing and again, travelling by our time
machine... This phone talk really cheered me up. I felt myself a bit guilty,
though. I never found time in my daily pocket to call my dear uni teachers...You
see, time is the most expensive thing for most of the people! We can never
afford having enough of it! And it hurts when it’s already gone…
I am feeling honoured to have had brilliant professors in my life. They have taught me a lot - some tricky translation theory, grammar and the most important to use my knowledge. :) I am forever indebted to them! How fascinating it is to feel that someone cares about you and remembers you no matter what...
Today two of my friends are celebrating their birthdays. One could surely say there is no real miracle. But there is. At least for me. They are really different and even have no idea about each other, living in different corners of the world, speaking different languages. But they are very dear to my heart and I am really fortunate to know them! My life would not be so complete without them in there.

Miracle # 3.
You'll laugh now or at least smile. My next miracle happened
in my bathroom. :D Guess what? Well, I didn't dive in my bath. :D (even though
I dream of swimming!) I was brushing my teeth, gargling, and washing my face...So
what, you may ask? Well, it was like a bolt from the blue...I realized...I can
do everything what concerns my private hygiene alone! Well, I've done it
independently for around 24 years but I never really thought about it! I know
there are people who are not able to enjoy such ocean of opportunities I am!
Well, I should not compare. And what's more, my life and abilities can change
any time. But this evening I enjoyed these usual activities without any
difficulties. This time, however, I was grateful for my freedom. My real bag of
freedom I tend to ignore.
I hope to notice more miracles in my life. May God help me! I am sure there are hundreds of other miracles around I usually do not notice. I should better keep my eyes widely open, don't you think so? ;)
