We can so quickly get carried away by the demands of our day and easily lose sight of wonder. We are taught to “know” so much, and somehow in accumulating knowledge and believing we can “do” more, we may find ourselves lost and unable to simply notice the world around us. We can miss the blessing of seeing the world through eyes of wonder.
As you begin today, take time to be present. What is the world around you showing you? Take time to notice the weather-not just if it is good/bad, but what is unique about the clouds, or the wind, or the sun? What do you notice about how other creatures are responding to the world?
How do you open your heart to blessings around you? The fact that we experience running water… a temperature controlled home with a touch of a button… the shelter of four walls, family and/or friends who can provide a helping hand… Let these blessings flow through you.
Today access those beautiful parts within yourself… allow the light in you to shine and touch those you come into contact with today. Each person has an incredible and unique story to tell-one that has been impacted by the generations before them. How do we honor the life before us as we greet or interact with another?
Those you come into contact today will be blessed through your eyes, your presence, or perhaps a kind touch. Just slow and notice whatever is “important” as you allow yourself to get lost in wonder today.

Today’s writing was inspired by my own wonderings lately, but also this beautiful video. If you have more time feel free to further get connected through it’s encouraging words!
