Tell us about a time in 2013 where you found yourself in awe of the wonder and/or magic around you. Did you have enough of these moments in the past year? How do you plan on cultivating more of these moments in 2014?
While 2013 was miserable for me on the whole, I will admit that I did have some moments in which I felt in awe of my surroundings. I had moments by myself, moments with my two younger children, and moments with my husband. I had moments at work and moments at home. I’m imagining I must have had enough of these moments last year because I made it to 2014. I don’t think I could have made it this far without the little injections of wonder and magic sprinkled in my days.
A third of the year has already flown by, and I’ve really been functioning on auto-pilot. I haven’t been putting much thought and effort into my cultivation project. Wow. In fact, I avoided answering this question by having a conversation with my sister. I ran out of time on my lunch break. I closed the lid of my laptop. It’s taken over eight hours for me to sit back down and contemplate cultivating more moments of wonder and/ or magic around me in 2014. How does one do so, anyway? Do I read? Do I write? Do I draw? Do I dance? Do I sit around? Do I just wait for things to happen? What do I do? I’m really not sure how to approach this. I guess I’ve been in auto-pilot mode so long, drifting through the life I’ve forced to live while dreaming of the life I want. Please tell me how you cultivate wonder and magic around you in the comments. Tell me in tweets. Tell me how I go about doing this.
