Always be on the lookout for the presence of wonder. ~ E.B. White
What is wonder? It can be described as a marvel or phenomenon or something that provokes awe or incredulity. A double rainbow in the sky, a kiss from your soulmate, your pet’s unconditional devotion, a son or daughter’s laughter, a sun shower, the silence of a season’s first snowfall, a butterfly tattoo on your friend’s shoulder in the same spot as yours. Air travel, a conversation conducted with only a look. Bailey’s non-alcoholic creamer. Bikram Yoga. Reading. Writing. Music. Doing what you love and getting paid for it. A desert bloom in the heat of summer. Friends who share the same weirdness. The invisible distance between two hearts. The power of the mind over matter. Having someone declare their thanks for you. The sacrifices others make for our freedom. A parent’s love for his/her child. Second chances. Wonder is as unique as its beholder.
What are five things you can list as marvels today?

Things I marvel at:
1. My small child’s ability to master video games within moments of beginning.
2. The truth that every person’s truth is as true and as different as my own.
3. The absolute, torturing pain that my deep love for my children causes my heart.
4. That people believe the quips of people who are vengeful and negative.
5. Lastly, that you can solidify a budding friendship with the simple gift of fluffly slippers with grip bumps on the bottom. 🙂

Yes, usually my thoughts are quite marvelous, especially when you’re alone and no one is there to disagree. 🙂
