Ordinary Miracle

It’s not that unusual
When everything is beautiful.
It’s just another ordinary miracle today.

The sky knows when its time to snow,
Don’t need to teach a seed to grow.
It’s just another ordinary miracle today.

Life is like a gift they say
Wrapped up for you everyday;
Open up and find a way
To give some of your own.

Isn’t it remarkable?
Like every time a rain drop falls,
It’s just another ordinary miracle today.

Birds in winter have their fling
But always make it home by spring.
It’s just another ordinary miracle today.

When you wake up everyday
Please don’t throw your dreams away;
Hold them close to your heart
Cause we’re all a part
Of the ordinary miracle.
Ordinary miracle

Do you want to see a miracle?

It seems so exceptional
That things just work out after all.
It’s just another ordinary miracle today.

Sun comes up and shines so bright
And disappears again at night.
It’s just another ordinary miracle today.
It’s just another ordinary miracle today.




Tomorrow~The "View Crew" will be heading down to your Earth for a week of travel with our beloved Seattle Slew at the helm as pilot, and Lucky Ducky as his co-pilot!!  Lucky has offered his flight surveillance experience to Slew in order to prevent a wrong turn somewhere, ahem, as well as to accelerate the journey down there!!  With that being said, the reporting from Equine Heaven will commence on your Earthly January 5, 2009!!!  So, from all of us up here to all of you down below, we wish you Happy Holidays and send you all our love...!!!

"Happy Birthday on the 25th, Chico !  10 years old ....... wow ... how time flies!!  It was going to be just one doggie .......... and your brother,
2 weeks older AMIGO, came home first!  He cried all night and I knew that he needed company.  When we went to your house we found an amazing sight:  your mom and dad and 4 or 5 brothers and sisters were flying in and out the doggie door .... having the best time ever!  You, of course, were the fuzziest and cutest and it was, indeed, love at first sight!  When you and AMIGO met, it was the same thing .........brotherly love at first sight!!  You two were different as day and night.  You wanted to play all the time ...... he wanted to be the lap pootle !!!!  You could catch anything on the fly .... he couldn't care less about toys!!!!  I'd buy stuffed animals and you'd carry them around ..... he'd lay on them!   I think your favorites were the stuffed red shark and the gorilla - almost as big as you were!!!!  You dragged me down the street during our walks ........and almost flunked out of obedience school.  You ate all leashes in half if I left them on when we took a ride in the car!  You, the best companion ever, would sleep at my side when I'd get sick.  You just wouldn't leave, not for a second!  We all 'dressed' as pootles for Halloween ......... !!  AMIGO and I miss you, CHICO ...... even though we know you are having the time of your 'heavenly' life ......... Happy 10th Birthday, Sweetie!!!!   Hugs and lots of love xxxoo from MOM and AMIGO."

At Heaven's Gate Farm, Chico and his love for "catching things on the fly", has joined Diesel and Kaiser's, "Heaven's Gate Farm Tennis Club", as an experienced instructor!!  Yes, Chico will be helping teach the Heavenly young'uns things like, how to catch the ball mid-flight, carry at least four tennis balls in their mouths at one time, and how to prevent runaway rolling Heavenly tennis balls!!!  He is a fantastic addition to the Garden Of Youth Finishing School's curriculum and the Heavenly young'uns LOVE his teaching methods!!  Chico credits his Earthly owner for his fortitude and motivation and would also like to send some "brotherly love" to Amigo!  Again, he sends his love to all!!!
