If yes, what are they?

Doesn't the question's wording contradict itself?
I mean that which is "ordinary" is "common" or "everyday." It denotes something that one finds regularly. By definition, a "miracle" must defy normalcy. It must be beyond the expected or everyday realm of events.
I would say, then, that you cannot have "ordinary mircales" or they cease to be "miracles."

No such thing as "miracle"... It's all just "mind over science"...
Belief in "miracles", means you aren't ready for any reality...
Here!.. try this this little-one out...
Next time your kid or pal has the sniffles, and their nose is blocked, and they are having a real difficulty in breathing.. Go into basic self-trance, and see your hands are above the clouds.. and reach those hands down into your hands, while you are making touch contact with your patient.. and pretend that your hands are ultra tiny, and are massaging the interiors of the patient's sinuses, bidding them to shrink back to the walls... And suddenly the patient is breathing as free as if they had snorted up some quality nasal mist...
It ain't "miracle".. it's just Reality...
There are lots of fun tricks you can do, if you have a capable functioning-mind...
When do you suppose people will get the idea that it's OK to switch-On their minds, and use them..?

when something is a miracle its not ordinary.
when its ordinary its never a miracle.
anyways. thats why the question is a contradiction.
anyways. yes they do exist. when you wake up in the morning and to turn to the person next to you and you feel that you will give everything for her. you see your world infront of you. i would say thats a miracle.

There are literally hundreds of thousands on record throughout time. Here is a story of just one I am familiar with.
I have a sister-in law that was the head nurse in surgery at a major hospital her step dad was diagnosed with a very aggressive cancer. His doctor did an exploratory surgery and when they cut him open she was in the surgery and the doctor shook his head and they sewed him up and gave him 6 months max.
Well the doctor he had asked if he could do some experimental treatment and he agreed. This happened 35 years ago and he is still alive today.
The doctor that done the experimental treatment didn't keep records of the treatment and 5 years after his treatment the doctor died of Lung cancer.
What would you call that there were 10 people in that operating room and all seen the cancer that is a No Brain er when you see it and Biopsy it.

Every morning you awake is a miracle.
Every storm that brings the rain is a miracle.
Every flower, every blade of grass, every field of wheat, every bee that flies, ever butterfly that you see...are miracles.
If these dont prove that every day miracles exist, then try these,
Every baby that holds your baby finger wrapped tightly in its new born had, is a miracle.
The thoughts in your mind, that allow you to focus on things that are grandur and greater than the harshness of the world, are miracles.
The world is full of people everywhere every day finding new sources of healing, making the world a better place, giving someone a hand up, being their for others, all these are miracles.
You are one yourself! Ciao

Everyday when you get up and are able to take a shower by yourself or with a loved one, that's a miracle. When your teen actually says yes, m'am and doesn't want anything, that's a miracle. I could go on and on and on, but my favorite are sunsets and watching the cats sitting on the picnic tables and the deer standing all around them at the park. too funny. Yes, all miracles, because I got to be a part of that.

Look around you. Every moment of our existence is saturated with miracles. That we're alive and breathing, the leaves on trees, the light of stars, music, and so on. Ordinary miracles are common place when you open your eyes and your heart.

In my mind's eye yes.
Everything is a miracle.
Examples: What attracts the molecules that hold us together in this and not any other order. Here we are in the vast universe by ourselves (as some believe) and this is what we decide to occupy ourselves with. Maybe not such a miracle but wonder.

It's a miracle to have the chance to live.

Yeah. like if you don't study and you pass a test. like if you lose alot of wieght on a diet that didn't work for anyone else. like if your teacher was really nice to you for no apparent reason. if someone special actually remembered your birthday.
see? there are everyday maricles we should all appreciate.
and by Kieth M's standards that exceeds normalcy. (or whatever its called)
