Land of Wonder

I wonder:
              :what the day would look like starting with gratitude as I rise from my bed
              :what each hour would look like if I was to encourage others
              :what my heart will look like if I would look deep inside and see the truth
              :what God thinks about my plans for this day
              :what the day will do to change me.
              :why that deer stopped eating to watch me take a picture of her
              :why those little wrens flew into my sunroom to spend some time with me
              :why the trip around my garden to photograph the fauna was so moving
              :why there are so many good friends in my life
              :who will be sharing each new adventure with me
              :where the year will take life as we know it now
              :where the dementia will take my wonderful man
              :where joy will show it's sparkling face
              :how the strength will be there when needed
              :how to grieve the losses without losing heart
              :how to show up and participate
              :how to keep him safe without controlling
              :how to ask for help and accept that is needed
              :how to manage the daily routines and do it all
              :how to love and love and love some more
              :when to let go and not hold on
              :
