Word for the Day - 2020

 Wonder

From Wikipedia: Wonder most commonly refers to an emotion comparable to surprise that people feel when perceiving something rare or unexpected

For me wonder almost always has something to do with nature.

It might be out hiking and finding a waterfall I didn't know was there, or driving down the highway and suddenly seeing a huge field of pumpkins, or in my own garden discovering some sweet flower popping out of the ground when I didn't expect to see them there.

Or the first smile coming from a baby.

What comes to mind too is Alice in Wonderland. Alice found so many "rare and unexpected" surprises when traveling to Wonderland. Just stepping through the mirror took her to adventures she would have never imagined.

What wonders touch your heart? intrigue you? 

and make your heart just smile?
