A feeling of surprise mingled with admiration, caused by something beautiful, unexpected, unfamiliar, or inexplicable.
Verb
Desire or be curious to know something.
A sense of wonder is something that I have always believed is necessary to live a full life. I may be wrong, but not for me. Approaching the world with a sense of childlike wonder. To marvel in the delights that are offered to us on a daily basis and to always be curious about everything. To me that is life.
It is one of the things that I really don't have to work on because it is often there beneath the surface. I have more than once just stopped dead in my tracks on a winter night because I am blown away by the clarity of the stars.
I always want to keep learning. I think being intensly curious about everything helps to make me a better person. And a happier one. I want never to lose my sense of wonder - it helps make up the parts of me that I have always delighted in.
Fun post! Without the sense of wonder, life is boring!! Happy A-to-Z 2013! ~Angela, Whole Foods Living, http://www.wholefoodsliving.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteThis is great. I love learning, too. I love teaching myself new things. The most recent are digital photography and the ukulele. I also feel that we get a sense of wonder from the simple childlike things, like Playdough & coloring. I have purple Playdough & a Strawberry Shortcake coloring book. They're awesome and I'm always surprised at what great stress relievers they are!
