'We choose to see miracles'

Whenever I read a book, I always take time to write down quotes from the book that really speak to me.
I finished reading The Nightingale last night (which is a brilliantly devastating and captivating book, btw). I wrote down several quotes, but this one got me:

" 'You have been through so much.'
  'We all have.'
  'So we choose to see miracles.' "

I won't give away any spoilers as to the specific miracle they were referring to, but I loved the quote.
It can be applied to any difficult situation - and seeing the silver lining, no matter how large or small.

With illness, sometimes the 'miracle' that i choose to see is as simple as eating a meal that wasn't just Boost. Sometimes the miracle is being able to do the stairs. Or walk in heels for an evening. Or being able to forego my cane for a few days!

Horrible things happen to everyone in some form or another. If we do not actively look for the bright side or the miracle in it, we may never find it. There is often this perception that miracles have to be these gigantic displays that are visible to anyone who happens to be looking in that direction or that they are obvious - but I don't believe that. I believe that all of the little tiny good things that happen to us are the miracles - because they add up to something monumental, if we can just choose to see them.

Be on the look out for little miracles today.
Random acts of kindness alone can seem like mini miracles to someone.
