Have you ever gotten an e-mail, a text, or even a hand written letter that made you smile? I received this type of an e-mail and it opened my eyes to how the simplest things, could be a dream in someone else’s eyes. While reading this article just remember that being capable to read is an overlooked advantage.

Sometimes in life there are more wonders than you think…

A group of students were asked to list what they thought were the present Seven Wonders of the World. Though there were some disagreements, 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 feel, 6. to laugh, 7. and to love.”

The room was so full of silence you could have heard a pin drop.

Those things we overlook as simple and “ordinary” are truly wondrous.

A gentle reminder that the most precious things in life cannot be bought.

I hope your life is filled with the world’s Seven Wonders. Author Unknown
