Wonder! Wonder! Wonder!

Have you ever noticed a child in wonder at something in the world? Children can become engrossed in something so simple or so small, their excitement evident on their little faces, but as adults, we often have quit enjoying the wonder of the world and miss out on the simple pleasures a child can find incredible. Webster's defines wonder in the verb form as: "1. To feel amazement or admiration. 2. To feel curiosity or uncertainty. 3. To feel inquisitive or uncertain about." When was the last time you felt wonder at anything? A long time? I encourage you then to take time today to be in wonder at something! Anything! Snow still on the ground where you live? Go harvest some flakes and look at them under a magnifying glass! Spring beginning to show signs? Take a moment to consider the bud on a tree or the first bulbs that produce a flower! Turn on your computer this morning? Those of us old enough to remember a typewriter might still wonder at the glory of the invention! And if nothing else, if you turned on a light in your home this morning, isn't electricity wonderful? Our lives are full of wonder if we pause to take a moment and notice. Take some time today, and everyday, to wonder at this amazing world we live in. Write about the small wonders in your life, or write about a time that filled you with wonder, but wonder!!! Yes, I am exclamating all over the place today because wonder makes us do that! Have a wonderful day and choose happiness!
