December 4 - Prompt: Wonder. How did you cultivate a sense of wonder in your life this year? (More at reverb10.com)
In my experience, wonder is cultivated when we put life on pause. Catching a snowflake and examining it up close. Turning off the TV to sit next to the lit-up Christmas tree, in the peace and quiet. Watching the waves roll and pondering how no two are identical. Stopping to admire a rainbow. Considering the complexity of the human (and animal) body. Taking a break to play on the floor with some kids. Using the word "wow" liberally, to remind yourself to appreciate differences, uniqueness and - well - wonderment. This is how I cultivate wonder in my life - simply by putting life on pause.
