Reverb 10 is an annual end-of-year project that helps readers reflect on the old year via a series of prompts. One of 2010′s prompts was “How did you cultivate a sense of wonder in your life this year?”
This question made me think about cultivating wonder in our lives all the time, from the old year into the new.
Wonder is a magical word, I think. And it’s a word that needs more exploration. We need to explore wonder more often, because as adults, many of us lose our sense of wonder in life. It gets buried under piles of bills, deadlines, responsibilities and housework.
Maybe you think you’re too old, too mature or too sensible to have a sense of wonder.
According to Dictionary.com, wonder means to admire, to be amazed, to be in awe, to marvel. It means something strange or surprising or a remarkable phenomenon.
How often do you marvel at your daily life?

Fortunately, I was born with a sense of wonder….Magic….is one of my favorite words. Today (as an illustration) a snowflake fell on the tip of my lash, and I thought……how cool. Always try to live in the moment; it is all we have.

I love the wonder…just to walk outside on a full moon and believe I’m on one giant space ship looking out into the universe…
Then to see my garden and see the new leaves on a new baby plant growing with little bugs listening to blue jays fight for territory..it’s so beautiful outside! and Like Allison says..to live in these moments they are there waiting for you every day!
