“Above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.” – Roald Dahl

Life is full of its ups and downs and it’s maddenly easy to get caught up fretting about things that are completely out of our control. Especially in society these days, we spend so much time worrying about public sanitation, the price of toilet paper, and all of the friends we haven’t seen in a while. Businesses are running at half capacity and all of the regular summer celebrations have been canceled or postponed. It’s enough to put anyone in a funk.

However, I’m of the opinion that there are bright spots present every single day even if at times they’re a little harder to see. It’s important to stop once in a while and notice all of the little magical moments that give color to the world. Some of them are obvious, overwhelming you with bliss and gratitude for loved ones. But most of the time they are small, everyday occurrences that quietly slip past when we’re not paying attention. That kind of attention takes practice but is bound to put a smile on your face. What do you do to harness your everyday magic?
