A Year of Wonder
As December rains bring in a new cool front and an awareness of this year coming to a close, I find myself wanting to savor every last minute of it. In January 2015, I chose my word of intention for the year: Wonder. Looking back over the year I know I had some of the highest highs and the lowest lows.
I am filled with wonder at the awareness that I am fully alive and can fully experience pain and joy, sickness and health, love and loss, faith and doubt, sight and blindness, prosperity/success and poverty. Each of these things, whether they seem negative or positive, brings a gift. Even within the pain and losses of life there is a potential and possibility for a new aliveness. This has been my journey in a nutshell and I treasure it, delight in it.
I prepare to enter a new year, knowing it will bring new challenges and new gifts. For now, it is shrouded in mystery, like the wrapped gifts under a Christmas tree.
Hoping that any who read this can become awakened to and "wonder-filled" at the miracle of being alive.
