My new word....
To observe... look at... view... gaze upon.
"Behold wonder"... Richard Bach
I love that quote.
So... behold the wonder that surrounds you...
Be observant.
Look at... get up close and personal... notice...
Gaze upon the world... your world.
The words in my journal say this...
Behold the wonder that surrounds you... the beauty... the love.
It is everywhere... look for it.
Find that which makes you happy.
Rejoice
Celebrate.
Embrace.
Behold the wonder...
Behold the beauty that surrounds and fills your heart...
Colors... sounds... feelings... joy... fulfillment... tolerance.
Enjoy each day... hour... minute.
Moment by moment.
Live.
Love.
BEHOLD the WONDER right here - on this glorious page - look how the flowers are glowing - radiating joy and love out into the world...

a wonder to behold there,

so i can say: Told you so...

BEhold sounds so much better than yoo, hoo! Doesn't it? Much more elegant and real I think. Good word for the year.
