Thanks for this, Toni... it's a thoughtful and thought-provoking post. You've got me looking for opportunities to experience wonderment, at least for this week, and it's appreciated!
I appreciate you, Tim. Whattya say this week too, we both make a concerted effort to find such a moment? I promise to share mine if you will yours, even. Putting a card on my board now... 😊
You know what I'm finding... once I start looking for wonderment opportunities, it's kinda hard to stop. I have a list of three so far and I want to keep adding to it! I'm thinking I need to include a "wonder card" in my options every week.
Here's one from the card I moved to done last week - I was taking a mental break from work in the green space behind my house, reflecting on the 120-year-old cherry tree that dominates the backyard. I've often thought about the biome of the large tree during similar reflections, watching squirrels skitter up and down the branches, seeing birds come and go. But, because of the way that the early morning sunlight was coming in through the branches, I could see a veritable cloud of insects filling the space beneath them, flitting back and forth to some mysterious purpose, that would have been invisible but for the angle of the sunlight. I recognized that my imagination of the tree's biome had just expanded by an order of magnitude in that moment.

I'd say you've got a deal! :) Just put a card on my board as well.

And I wondered... what else don't I see? :)
