This has been a beautiful, calm December day with temps in the seventies, and a bright sunny blue sky. It is a “work day” for me, so I have been by the river, able to enjoy the great outdoors as long as I can keep an eye on the gallery. There are a few others walking around, and even the often more aloof “transplants” have greeted me with some comment on the lovely day.
For the past few week a cold has gotten me down a bit. All colds are different and this particular one was all sinus and nasal with a side of listlessness. I didn’t like that. But today! Thanks goodness for today! My sense of wonder has returned. And it made me realize that is my essence. Not that I need to go on and on about myself, but today I appreciate my sense of wonder. If I didn’t have a sense of who our great God is, I may not have it. But I am amazed at the world and all it contains and seeing how things come together - the rivers and oceans, soil and sand, the creatures who live around it all, the life giving sun and the way it causes the colors of the earth to change from 93 million miles away. Even the fine voice of the singer I am listening to. Infinitely fascinating, and I hope to continue to see my world like that.
