Do you ever detach yourself from the current situation you find yourself in and think about life? … I do!
I love reflecting on the deep matters of existence as well the more trivial ones. I also love to find humor in the mundane, everyday moments in life as I think so often these little gems go un-noticed. If you take the time to tune into life and really pay attention to your surroundings you’ll realise just how vibrant life really is!
So, here are my seven (plus a few extra) Wonders of the World:
1 – When it’s really windy outside and the trees are swaying, often they will squeak and it is the coolest thing! Listen closely!
2 – The fact that, when it gets dark, everyone (well, the majority of people) go home to their little houses, get into comfy pajamas and go to sleep! They could be the meanest of bosses, the snobbiest of teachers, the cruelest of criminals yet, they all lie down and shut their eyes and dream, every night. Isn’t that funny?!
3 – When you visit a house with a dog and, guaranteed, it will always come running up to you and go straight for your crotch! Why is that?! #awkward.
4 – When you are walking on the pavement and a car passes you – the driver will always be staring you down! Yet, when you are driving and you see someone walking, you can’t help but be nosey and see who it is!
5 – Cakes! Who’d have thought that when you add flour, solidified milk (butter), sugar and the thing that comes out of a chicken’s butt (egg) you get a spongy, fluffy bread thing?! Science is incredible!
6 – The reflection of water. There’s something so exotic and inciting about it! Mmmm.
7 – The ugliness of turkeys! They really are something else!
8 – The fact that you can drive the same route countless times and think you know it like the back of your hand yet, if you walk it, you’ll see things you never knew existed and will get a completely new perspective!
9 – The ability to keep on loving! You may think you have reached your capacity but someone/something new can come along and steal your heart all over again because there is always room for more!
I think everyone should have their own list of “Wonders”! So, go find yours! 🙂
