Wondering

Do you ever just sit and wonder? Wonder about things, days, events, life in general? I do. There are many a times where I find that I just sit and wonder about things. I find myself wondering about things when I drive, when I go shopping (which can be pretty entertaining because I will just stand and stare at the products until I stop wondering) when I go to bed (this seems to be a problem because when I wonder in bed I tend not to go to sleep) and sometimes I find myself wondering just when I stare out the window or look up at the sky. For me, wondering seems to be a daily occurrence.

With all of this time spent wondering some of you might think that I would run out of things to wonder about. But alas, that is not the case. For it seems that the more that I wonder the more I find that there is to wonder about, and therefore..it just never stops. I fear that I will always be a wonderer. But even if that is the case, I do quite enjoy it. Therefore, I figured that I would share some of my wonderings with you. So here is a list of a few of things that I have wondered about before.

*I wonder about zippers and why when you move a metal piece up and down the zipper will go together and separate, but you can't seem to make it connect with using your fingers.

*I wonder about the phrase "new and improved" because how can something be new if it is improved upon because that means it already existed, and then how can something be improved upon if it is new, because if it is new then there was nothing to be improved upon?

*I wonder about who got to name all of the stars in the sky and decide what stars made what figures.

*I wonder about the names of objects, such as gazebo or galoshes...I mean really, who came up with that? And who got to choose how they were spelled?

*I wonder about my future and what life holds in store for me.

*I wonder how I am still alive after all of the crazy and stupid things I have done throughout my life.

*I wonder who went around and tried all of the foods to determine whether they were safe to eat or not.

*I wonder about my future family and who they will be.

*I wonder about elephants and what it would be like to have a nose that long.

*I wonder about clouds and what they would feel like to touch.

*I wonder about writing on here and who reads it.

*I wonder about people and their life stories and the adventures that they have had.

*I wonder about my job and if I will ever figure out all that I am supposed to be doing

*I wonder how hot metal can make your hair curl, twist, or lie straight. And who got to be the first to test that out.

*I wonder how something as small as an ant can lift so much.

*And most of all I wonder what adventures life holds for me tomorrow. For everyday that comes about, there is always a tomorrow to wonder about.

It would seem that I am destined to always be a wonderer. Wondering about the silly and the serious. The strange and the beautiful. But even though I tend to wonder a lot, there are many things that I know for sure. I know that the gospel is true. I know that I have a father in Heaven who loves me. I know that my mom is amazing I and I would trade her for anything. I know that my sister is one of my greatest friends. I know that my brother is truly great. I know that whatever happens in life, someone has a plan for me and that it will all be ok. I know that I can accomplish anything with the Lords help. So even though I tend to wonder a lot, there are also a lot of things that I know. And it is knowing those things that keeps me grounded in life. It is knowing those things that allows me to wonder about everything else and still be sure of who I am and what my purpose is here on earth. It is knowing those things and more that truly lets me wonder about and discover everything else.
