“The way I figure it, everyone gets a miracle. Like, I will probably never be struck by lightening, or win a Nobel Prize, or become the dictator of a small nation in the Pacific Islands, or contract terminal ear cancer, or spontaneously combust. But if you consider all the unlikely things together, at least one of them will probably happen to each of us. I could have seen it rain frogs. I could have stepped foot on Mars. I could have been eaten by a whale. I could have married the Queen of England or survived months at sea. But my miracle was different. My miracle was this: out of all the houses in all the subdivisions in all of Florida, I ended up living next door to Margo Roth Spiegelman.”
~ John Green, Paper Towns
Or, let’s change up the last sentence with an alternate version:
But my miracle was different.
There are more than 152,000,000 blogs in existence today.
You paused. Here.
You took an extra second to click through.
Took 30 seconds of your precious life.
To read this post.
To follow my blog.
My miracle is different.

Love being part of your Miracle, DK!
MJ
And you are MJ, you are. 🙂 Thank you.
It’s a two way kind of miracle – we found you/and what you posted suggested that you found us.
Awwwwww Puppy. Thank you Mimi…
🙂
Beautiful! You inspired my day & I thank you for that!
Glad to be part of that 🙂
Thank you!
You’re welcome! And thank you! I cannot remember how I found you. Or rather, how you found me, for when the student is ready, the teacher will come. Either way, or both, I’m really glad it happened.:)
Smiling. I am glad Carolann. I am.
First we had to find you and that is a miracle, too.
Awwww Lulu, thank you!
glad to be part of your miracle, as you are a part of ours
You are LouAnn. You are…Thank you
Woo hoo! Love that miraculously we’ve all connected! ♥
Me too Yvonne!
the miracle is how we all stumble upon each other and cross paths, somehow leaving a part of us connected. beautiful, dk.
So true Beth. It is…
Awh, that is wonderful! And now I cannot even possibly turn that into a donut comment. It is utterly sweet on it’s own!!! Cher xo 😉
Laughing. (I was waiting to see how you would manufacture this into a Tim Horton’s story. You do have some control. I’m impressed!)
*LOL* Well perhaps a slight bit of control but clearly not much at times!!! 😉 Cher xo
I have seen it rain frogs. And, I have found your blog. Does that mean I’ve had all my miracles? I think not!
Thanks.
You have NOT! More to come.
What a wonderful perspective.
It is Maralee
Yes, this community of bloggers is truly a miracle. I love your vantage point.
So true. It is something that I never expected when I started this blogging venture. Thank you
You and your blog are easy to like David! I look forward to your posts, even Caleb 🙂
Ahhhh, thank you Debra. The feeling is mutual.
Your blog is a glowing miracle full of humps and wagging tails.
Smiling. Yes, Caleb and all of the other creatures.
David, love his words/miracle, and love your words/miracle too. The feeling when someone takes in what we put into the world – sublime. Wonderful post, will have me pondering miracles…
Yes, that’s it Bonnie. Sublime. You captured it…thank you.
Lovely sentiment. That makes you, DK, a miracle worker.
Awwww, Helen, thank you. I get similar inspiration from you.
YOU create miracles every day, David.
Awwwww Vicki, thank you.
😀
🙂
Sweet, David…and, yes, we are all touched by miracles. 🙂
We are…just imagine…if somehow we hadn’t connected…who would be hounding me with their grass juice and psychological insights?
OMG…well, we can’t always choose our connections…I guess. Kind of like family, you get what you get. 🙂
I GOT THAT!
🙂
I think this whole internet system is really miraculous when you think of how life used to be, so much more fun now, and you learn more than just staring at a tv screen. It’s a wonderful experience to connect with so many, and I really enjoy your blog David and all the things you find, I’m glad it’s effected your life in such a good way – mine too!!! 😀
Thank you Suzy. It really is. It has opened up an entirely new, large and global community. A miracle.
Clever…
Thanks Claudia
