Wonder: Winter Wonderland
As I so often mention on this blog, I didn't grow up where it snows. I grew up in sunny San Diego. I have now moved to the east coast and the sight of snow still makes me ecstatic. I love the soft quiet that comes over my school as the snow starts to fall or the feeling I get when there are snowflakes all over my jackets. It is nice to still have wonder about something that most people know so much about. I still can't even drive in the snow! The point of all of this is to say that realizing that wonder and looking at it in a new way is one of the best ways I can think of to be happy. So look around and see what the world has to offer. Is it just snow or a magical winter wonderland? I would choose the ladder. Again, though, that's just me, the girl who is still ecstatic when it snows. I feel like a child in awe. I think everyone needs to feel that at least at some point. The question is what is it that makes you feel wonder.
