Wondering

I wonder…

• if I had been born in a different era, could I have been an astronaut?
• how life would have turned out if I had pursued music, taken the Apple job, or moved to California.
• what work will look like 20 years from now.
• why one of my cats loves to catch critters, and the other doesn’t.
• why some winters I have a plethora of golden finches at my feeder, and others I have none.
• what our grandkids will be into.
• if I will be healthy in 10 years.
• why the lower angle of the sun and its light in the fall changes how a day feels.
• why a 55-degree day in July feels terrible but in February feels amazing.
• if I will finish writing a book.
• if I should stay at my current company.
• why some days I wake up feeling optimistic, and others I wake up feeling dread.
• how I can be more present.
• how I can be someone that people want around.
• how does AI work?

Wondering what if, what was, what is, what could have been, how, and why. All of the feelings.

Wonder beats the pants off of going through the motions.
