reblogging.

i was going back and reading last year's blog posts when i came across a dear little entry from myself that turned my day right around:

take a moment and just breathe. do you realize that what you are doing right now is a miracle? think of all the people in the world that, right now, are fighting for each and every breath. think about what would happen if you were not able to breathe. such a small back and forth movement of your lungs is sustaining your entire existence. if that isn't a miracle, then who knows what is. now, imagine how full and exuberant your life would be if every moment were a miracle... the clouds in the sky. the green light on the way to school. the sunrise. the person who smiled at you in the hall. music. the fact that you are alive, here and now. you are blessed with miracles in your life, even on the lowest day in your life. the secret to happiness is to recognize these miracles and let them better your life.

so basically, a big thank you to last year's brielle for reminding me of the important things in life. (:

hopefully it helps some of you out as much as it helped me!
