Reverb10 #4 : Wonder

Media_httparsbarscomw_njoyb
This post is part of my Reflections of 2010 through out December with the help of  #Reverb10.
The fourth prompt for Reverb10:   Wonder. How did you cultivate a sense of wonder in your life this year?

won·der

–verb (used without object) 1. to think or speculate curiously 2. to be filled with admiration, amazement, or awe; marvel (often fol. by at ) 3. to doubt

Daily I Wondered

Change and worry were a constant in 2010.  Was I making the right choices?  Would I be able to pay the bills? Would I get the job? Was it right to turn down the job? Wondering if what I was doing was right, doubting if I was doing the right things.

Reverb 10 : Thinking of Dying

This post is part of my Reflections of 2010 through out December with the help of  #Reverb10.
The third prompt of Reverb 10 :
Moment. Pick one moment during which you felt most alive this year. Describe it in vivid detail (texture, smells, voices, noises, colors).

Thinking of Dying, Makes You Feel the Most Alive

Media_httpfarm2static_ddhzi

Anyone that reads this blog or Bike Shop Girl knows what moment in the past year has made me feel the most alive.  It is the moment that my bicycle and a car plowing through all of it, when I questioned my life and my reasoning, that is the moment I felt most alive.

Reverb 10: Losing the Fat from Life

This post is part of my Reflections of 2010 through out December with the help of  #Reverb10.
The second prompt of Reverb 10 :
Writing. What do you do each day that doesn’t contribute to your writing — and can you eliminate it?

The Mentality of There is Always Tomorrow

It seems as time goes on there is more things added to daily life to "help" you get things done.   Email on phones, fast food restaurants at every corner and events to network.   All of these things have created a life that is consumed by consumables, and life, years, months, days and moments... are temporary.  I'm surrounded by those that believe tomorrow is another day and they will have a chance to try again.  They can call their mother tomorrow, they can go to the gym..tomorrow, they can go for that bike ride...tomorrow.  That is how I treat my life as well.  Tomorrow I can do that, I can ride, write, blog or call my mother.

Reverb10 : One Word

Media_httpfarm6static_gqsft
I've signed myself up for #Reverb10.
Reverb 10 is an annual event and online initiative to reflect on your year and manifest what’s next. The end of the year is an opportunity to reflect on what's happened, and to send out reverberations for the year ahead. With Reverb 10, we'll do both.   This December we invite you to share your story and join us in reflection.   Join at Reverb10.com
The first prompt: "Encapsulate the year 2010 in one word. Explain why you’re choosing that word. Now, imagine it’s one year from today, what would you like the word to be that captures 2011 for you? (Author: Gwen Bell)"
