What makes you feel like a kid again? WONDER! Yes! It's that unmistakeable feeling that comes over you when you see something new and incredible, when you are shocked at how something works or was created to be so amazing. And it's like you are a child experiencing life in a fresh aspect like never before. This week wonder hit me. I woke up to another January day of cold and snow. As the day dawned, my daughter looked out our sliding glass door and excalimed, "Look at all the snowballs!" Sure enough, when I looked out to our backyard there were hundreds of snowballs rolled up overnight by the wind. In all my life I had never seen this before. WOW! Wonder! Amazement! I quickly changed clothes and threw on snow gear. I had to see this upclose and take some photos to share with family down south. When I got outside I saw more and more snowballs and my excitement grew. How could this be? How come I'd never seen this phenomenon before after so many cold snowy winters? I was filled with delight and energy! My average day in the north in January in winter changed into something special, something fun, something happy. What has filled you with wonder lately?

Poem: Last Day First Day
Last Day First Day
Soft morning light dawns
Candles flickering
Fireplace logs burning
Warming
My toes while I wait
For the coffeepot to finish
Brewing
Earthy aroma filling the
Quiet house
Today is our first day of the
New year
Your last day with us
You sparkled
Brightly
Softly
Giving joy
Beauty
Gently in the darkness
Reminding us
A light has dawned
The
Light of the World
