I have come to fall in love with teaching in Catholic schools. What are YOU in love with?...

"Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is, than falling in love in a quite absolute, final way. What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you will do with your evenings, how you will spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love, stay in love, and it will decide everything." - Pedro Arrupe

"Wonder"-ful

Did you ever wonder...

Can an apple a day chase the doctor away?

or Is a gob more than a smidgen?

or even How hot is the sun?


Ok, so maybe you haven't wondered the exact questions posed above - although, give me anyone who hasn't at some point wondered the first one! - but you have to admit, isn't it neat to wonder?

Wonderopolis is a site I happened across a few weeks ago, and I like to check back every once in awhile to see all the latest wonders for the week. I enjoy making time for doing so because it gives me a chance to read and/or watch about things I've taken for granted and never really thought about before.

Too busy to wonder? Think again:

"He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed."
- Albert Einstein

"Wisdom begins in wonder."
- Socrates

"Millions saw the apple fall, but Newton asked why."
- Bernard Baruch

I wonder if I've made my point?

Good night, my friends...and have a wonder-filled evening!
