Awe-Inspiring Wonder

The sight of snowflakes falling from the sky like powdered sugar.

The smell of a neighbor burning wood in a backyard nearby.

The sound of high pitched giggles chasing Daddy down snowy hiking trails.

The feeling of that first step inside a heated home welcoming us back to warm and cozy.

The taste of rich hot chocolate with a pinch of salt after a morning spent in the brisk air outside.

The gratitude for my simple yet awe-inspiring senses.

This is wonder.

This is joy.

This I don’t want to ever take for granted.
