I'm embarrassed to say that I am currently inspired by /think of a song while I'm riding my bike.

I came to know song for a Canadian insurance company.... but klutzy me, found out it's a...song from Vancouverite, Sarah McLaughlin. Entitled "Ordinary Miracle". Enjoy...

It's not that unusual
When everything is beautiful
It's just another
Ordinary miracle today

The sky knows when it's time to snow
Don't need to teach a seed to grow
It's just another
Ordinary miracle today

Life is like a gift, they say
Wrapped up for you everyday
Open up, and find a way
To give some of your own

Isn't it remarkable?
Like everytime a raindrop falls
It's just another
Ordinary miracle today

The birds in winter have their fling
And always make it back by spring
It's just another
Ordinary miracle today

When you wake up everyday
Please don't throw your dreams away
Hold them close to your heart
'Cause we are all a part

Of the ordinary miracle

Ordinary miracle

Do you want to see a miracle

It seems so exceptional
That things work out after all
It's just another
Ordinary miracle today

The sun comes out and shines so bright
And disappears again at night
It's just another
Ordinary miracle today

It's just another
Ordinary miracle today

I got goose bumps. I can understand you thinking of this song while on your bike. This song is you Orchid.

I'm a big Sarah McLaughlin fan too (in fact, I'm listening to her Christmas album on my computer right now). This is one of my favourites...it often comes to mind when I'm looking out the window on creation, or enjoying the wonder and sparkle in the eyes of my grandchildren. It helps one to think "think better thoughts" doesn't it!

The sky knows when it's time to snow
The sky knows when it's time to snow
Don't need to teach a seed to grow
It's just another
Ordinary miracle today

Life is like a gift, they say
Wrapped up for you everyday
Open up, and find a way
To give some of your own

Song warmed me today ...as I cycled only 13 kms. today to and from market with slight snow dusting on ground. It was zero degrees.

It's a miracle just even be on a bike and to be able to balance and cycle. Not everyone can.

When I had a strange dizzy spell a few years ago that put me out for 3-4 hrs. off the bike, it reminded me of just this one miracle.

Early Merry Christmas thoughts for all you boomer chicks!

I'd never heard this... oh, but now it's on my favorites list...
