Wonder...

Blog Post: Wonder

The object I have chosen to write about are magnets on my refrigerator. A collection of tiny memories and information with a common purpose, to bring a family closer together through  what is on a refrigerator. As I looked upon my refrigerator I realized how much of a great life I have had thus far. The support of my family during soccer games, the pride in the good grades, and inspiring sayings. There is so much wonder that lies within those magnets on all of our refrigerators. Those magnets serve a far more greater purpose than to simply decorate your refrigerator. The wonder within those magnets is what they do for your family. If people are having a bad day, and need a pick me- up, or an inspiring word look on your refrigerator and remind yourself how great your life is. Remind yourself of the people or events in your life that have made a difference within your life for the better. Today I had the worst day, I disregarded my homework to read in my English class, and ended up having a pop quiz. I was upset for the remainder of the day, until I got home. I walked into my kitchen, and looked at all of the pictures that are on my refrigerator and realized that my life is filled with wonders; joy, happiness, bonding, and pride all describe the pictures on my refrigerator. This made my emotions of having a bad day not disappear but eliminate a part of it. We as humans we can use our imagination for many things, imagination has many options for interpreting things. When we as young adults see the refrigerator as inanimate object, but if we use our imagination it can be viewed as a tool to bring us closer together within our family. As we get older we let go of the figurative sense of life and attach on to the literal meaning of life. I believe that the quote  . St. Gregory of Nyssa is very true, our imagination is only capable if we allow it.
