Sometimes you have those days that you don't want to end. Days where you would like life to just pass you by and leave you where you are. To enjoy the moment forever. I call these magical days. Some are lucky enough to have a lot of these sorts of days in their life. I would like to think that I am one of those people. The magical days are when we are at our happiest, when the world seems a place full of wonder, and you feel like you could live forever. Hopefully for some of you today is that type of day.

Unfortunately for some the magical days are remembered with a tinge of sadness, a sense of longing where they wish they could go back to that point in time. I never do that. Turning such wonderful days into memories that make you sad upon recollection is a tragedy. People fall down living all the days since their last magical day simply waiting for the next. I know it is not possible to have a magical day every day, if it was then no day would stand out as special

. However it does not mean you can not gain strength and hope from your past magical days, and use that strength and hope to simply enjoy life everyday.

I believe the happiest people in the world are those that can get a sense of magic from everyday life. Because there is a bit of magic in every day. We all encounter it, however the key is being aware and at peace enough to recognise the magic and see it through the negativity that pervades us in daily life. I know it is easy for me to speak like this now, I am on holidays and have been in paradise for the last 3 weeks. However I take this philosophy with me each day I live at home, and have done for as long as I can remember. Reminding myself at the start of each day to be aware of the magic that is going to occur today is a great way to set out from my home in the morning.

Why am I writing this today? Well today was a magical day. I hope yours was for you too.
