Wanderful Wednesday

Not Wordless At All. . .   

 

Last week, it was my reply to a comment by Mark Don McInnes, Sandpoint that brought back a recent memory that I had filed under that draft section in my mind where ideas can be found

 

A few days earlier, Carol Williams included the same quote I had referenced as she wrote of her upcoming(now continuing) road trip across many areas of ActiveRainLand and beyond.

 

Rather than properly cataloging ideas/thoughts, they sometimes flounder(rather than be easily found) in that gray mass also known as my brain. You see, it was a few weeks ago as I passed through a neighborhood park and saw a sign: Wander Often, Wonder Always.

 

There was no credit given to the words but the sentiment stuck with me. Carol, then Mark helped in that "recovery" process. And fortunately it happens quite often. It can occur on a Wednesday or any day.

Michael,

Both words, wandering and wondering are wonderful words to read about on any Wednesday or any other day.  We do a lot of both with our work and love it.  Happy any day that has both as part of it. A

I love that quote, Wander often, Wonder Always....  Two things that can make life more interesting. And by the way, I sometimes can't find thoughts in the files in my head either. They like to play hide and seek at times.

Enjoy your day!

Lawrence "Larry" & Sheila Agranoff. Cell: 631-805-4400 - I think I may be feeling a bit of a draft in my mind - or is that simply wind blowing through my ears?

 

Wayne Martin - thank you but I do worry about rambling through the brambles and becoming lost.  Of course, that could happen if one wanders too long.  Maybe wondering too much could cause that to happen as well. 

 

Grant Schneider - even with trying to leave a clutter-free or clutter-less life, there is still too much stuff.

Nina Hollander, Broker - my list of things to do and places to be requires paper, pen as well as pondering.  Yes, the three "P"s can't be escaped.  Or so it seems.

 

Ron and Alexandra Seigel - I like that.  A good way to incorporate the betterment of being.  

 

Kat Palmiotti - maybe I had passed by the sign for a while but it remained unnoticed until recently.  Serendipity.  Or something else?  Yes, I wonder.   😃

 

Bill Salvatore - YVP Blog - thank you for the comment and I hope your Wednesday is a good one too.

I like the expression on that boy's face, I can tell that he often wanders and likely always wonders!

Hi Michael Jacobs, I love this quote which I do often. I have so much filed in the draft which may be beneficial at times.

Beth Atalay - keeping things categorized/organized can be difficult at times but the benefits when those things come together make the effort worthwhile.  

 

Joan Cox - had I seen the quote prior to walking on that particular path?  I wonder. . .

Hi Michael- I do love where your mind wandered today. And I know that when you wander, wonder can not be far behind.

I (luckily) live in an awesome place for wandering. Day trips abound in Central Florida (both north and south). I am not sure if the wandering adds to the wondering or the wondering adds to the wandering?)

Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty - it's probably difficult to have one without the other too far behind.

 

Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, CRS - I am sure there are others who can easily qualify for membership in that club.  🙃

I wonder about who may have been the first to wander about.

Morning Michael.

While I wonder what each day will bring, I also wander down paths not yet taken by me.  Just another day taking in all the beautiful things I failed to see in my youth.

Those words fit you perfectly, Michael! Your wandering walks have lead to a multitude of wondering/pondering moments!

Rocky Dickerson - good question.  I remember reading the story of John Chapman(Johnny Appleseed) when I was a child.  There is something in that story that stuck with me. 

 

James Dray - you seem to incorporate that into each day.  Good for you.

 

Debe Maxwell, CRS - thank you.   The path is filled with many detours.  Fortunately and unfortunately - that's life.
