What IS The Wonderment Of Life?

For a while now, the word Wonderment has been coming to me. So much so I finally stopped and pulled down my tattered and worn Thorndike & Barnhart Dictionary and looked up this word that had been haunting my thoughts. It simply said wonder; surprise. Nothing too profound, so I looked up both of those words and found wonder to mean - strange and surprising thing or event. The feeling caused by what is strange and surprising. feel wonder. be surprised. be curious about;wish to know.
Then Surprise meant - feeling caused by something unexpected. something unexpected. catching unprepared; coming upon suddenly. astonish. 

The thing about Life is, it truly  is a Wonder and Surprise. At every sunrise, every sunset. At the dawning of the new day, it  is a beautiful opportunity to be surprised. Only thing is, with Life; it isn't always the good Surprises or Wonders that we encounter. 

I am not sure where this blog will take me if even for any more than this post; but I am hoping to share and be also be shared to, as I go. I have had my share of ups and downs and I am sure there are far too many ahead of me to count. One thing remains Life is full of Wonderment. May we all open our eyes to see what we truly are to see. 

I hope you will take this journey with me!
