    A1: it seems that "wonder" goes hand in hand with "notice" & those who notice the beauty & amazing things around them tend to be happier #WonderChat

    A 1: Wonder sent me on a 15 yr journey to research happiness. How do we increase happiness levels? Have more meaning & aliveness in our lives? Create more happiness? Stressors & daily rigors of life can dampen our flame. How do we not just survive but thrive? #wonderchat

    Right?! That’s discouraging! 😬 But also revealing. #WonderChat

    Q3 What are some ideas to keep your “zest” for teaching? #WonderChat
  • strobeled Dec 4 @ 8:24 PM EST
    That's the whole issue, right? We let the 10% become much, much more and it robs us of our joy. We don't always realize that much of this is in our control #wonderchat
