Oh! I LOVE the title that I came up with for this post! :) I love playing with words and the alliteration in the title is Awesome Possum IMO!
Read on:
A group of students were asked to list what they thought were the present Seven Wonders of the World. Though there was some disagreement, the following got the most votes:
1. Egypt's Great Pyramids
2. Taj Mahal
3. Grand Canyon
4. Panama Canal
5. Empire State Building
6. St. Peter's Basilica
7. China's Great Wall
While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one quiet student hadn't turned in her paper yet. So she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list. The girl replied, "Yes, a little. I couldn't quite make up my mind because there were so many."
The teacher said, "Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help."
The girl hesitated; then read, "I think the Seven Wonders of the World are:
1. to touch
2. to taste
3. to see
4. to hear
She hesitated a little, and then added
5. to laugh
6. to love
7. and to live
The people in the room turned quiet. Those things we overlook as simple and "ordinary" are truly wondrous things in our life that cannot be bought.
I guess what this story aims to convey is that there are many things that we should be grateful for and that we should count our blessings because, truly, there are many WONDERFUL AND WONDROUS things in life that we are blessed with.
Health is wealth, for example! With every easy breath that we take, we should be thankful that we are in the pink of health...
What do you have to be grateful for, today and every day? :)
