Reverb: Wonder
December 4 - Wonder. How did you cultivate a sense of wonder in your life this year?
People have often said that one of the things they enjoy most about me is the joy and wonder I take in small things. I love that I've been able to hold on to that, but I don't feel like I have done the best job cultivating it this year. It's been a rough year for me, healthwise.

Things I HAVE done:
- Spend time with the nieces and nephew. Children are wonderful for this!
- Nature walks. Especially with the camera. I love close-up shots of the woodland floor, with moss and mushrooms and tiny plants.
- Travel. For the first time in years and years I flew somewhere, and shared a vacation with 20 of my closest friends :) Exploring new places and new environments is something I adore, especially seeing unfamiliar wildlife.
- Science! I love reading about scientific discoveries. There is truly wonder in what we can observe without making things up, and truth often is stranger than fiction (just ask the blanket octopus).
- Art. I should look at more art in person - we even have discount museum passes at work - but the internet is great for exposing yourself to a huge variety of artists. I have a little tumblr account just for collecting pieces that I like or that touch me in some way: Somebody's Daydreams.
