i wonder
if you’re having as much #reverb10 fun as i am. (if not, let me know and i’ll toss an extra handful of magic sparkle dust your way.)
why anybody wants to play football.
what little orphan annie did when she grew up.
i wonder
how much longer till we all understand that living into our greatness does not diminish the greatness of others.
why so many people are depressed.
if vinegar does even half the things my mother claims it does.
i wonder what i’m really supposed to be doing with my life.
i wonder
why i waited so long to dress myself in VivaciousBoldness.
if i’ll ever sleep for 8 consecutive hours again.
what the woman who lives in the pink and blue house with a yard full of words spelled out in rocks would tell me if i knocked on her door with a hot pound cake and an afternoon to spend.
of course i wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who,
who wrote the book of love.
and at least once a day,
i wonder what i did to wind up with a husband and son who bring me such marvelous treasures.

You are speaking my language so beautifully! I try to live in a perpetual state of wonder each day; it makes me happy and keeps my childlike spirit alive!

You’ve got me wondering now… about Orphan Annie… 🙂
i’ve actually considered writing a musical about that very thing. let’s put it this way: it’s on The List;)

big smiles and a couple of chuckles. i’m pretty sure that what you are supposed to be doing with your life has been answered though. right here.
love you, sugar.
love you, sugar.
love.
(this fairy godmother stuff is fun – i love it – but am having trouble getting around to all my every-day favorites and getting around to visit the newbies. helping people join twitter, signing people up for reverb10 cause they can’t do it themselves, soothing furrowed brows, cheering scared ones on. need more hours. or fairy dust.)
again i say: love.
and add that i’m so glad you’re part of reverb10.
I wonder about many things, like you. Very thoughtful post.
thank you, mark.
The next time I find myself even slightly slipping from joy I shall open and read this priceless post. (and, yes, vinegar does everything your mom claims it will do.) <3 <3 <3 THANK you for your wonder-full-ness!
well, aren’t you sweet. (that’s southern for thank you.)
“i wonder what i’m really supposed to be doing with my life.” You tooooo? 🙂
oh, only about forty-elevan times a day;) i take it you speak that language, too?
I love this playful, fresh take on today’s prompt! Energetic and zestful and honest and fun! So glad, again, to have connected with you…
thank you – and i to you. never did tell you how much we have in common, did i? besides writing, i’m an actor and managing director of a theatre company my daughter founded in 2005. i especially love improv and comedy. yum yum.
Love your take on yesterday’s word, kind of gives me an idea what to do with that day now 🙂
fantastic! look forward to reading it.
I totally would love to hear the story of the woman in the blue and pink house. Last month I finally asked the weirdly dressed woman from my neighborhood about the scarves she wears. They are masterpieces of intarsia knitting and as a knitter I was interested. She is really nice and down to earth and loved chatting about knitting.
i love your story, paula! i find that most people are quite nice and appreciate knowing that they’ve been seen, that somebody is interested. don’t you?
I think you are right. Especially if you go about it in a nice way without condescension.
adorable. i just love this.
thank you, tracey. just visited your place – always love being there. it calms and re-centers me.
I love your take on Reverb10! I’ve also wondered what little orphan Annie did when she grew up 😉
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Oh, who wrote the Book Of Love
I’ve got to know the answer
Was it someone from above?
Funny you’d mention a song by a group called The Monotones – good golly, could that BE any further from describing the wonder that you are?
Ah well, I figure I can live without knowing who WROTE the book of love – since I have the great good fortune of knowing who ANIMATES it, each and every day …
