There’s something magical about this time of year — the way lights sparkle in the dark, how the air feels full of anticipation, and how even the simplest things can stir a sense of wonder.
This morning, I noticed frost on a windowpane — tiny, intricate patterns, each one unique. I paused longer than I meant to, just admiring how something so fleeting could be so beautiful. It reminded me that wonder isn’t reserved for children. It’s always there, waiting for us to look closer.
We lose wonder when we rush. But when we slow down — even for a moment — life reveals its quiet miracles.
Today, notice one thing as if seeing it for the first time: the sky, a sound, a smile, a simple moment. Let yourself be amazed again.
