The top of a hike on New Year’s Day. Complete Wonder.
I’ve been asked quite a bit recently — what my intention is for the new year — and the decade to come. The word that has surfaced is wonder. My East Coast, Type A, Achievement focused — whatever label you choose — mentality can get quickly caught up in the task list and what I “should” be doing at any and every given moment: much of which has supported me, in many ways, to this point.
However, it’s become wildly apparent that the most significant achievements, the most precious moments — the ones we remember — have elements of, or quite frankly, are drenched in wonder.
