I do what I call 'scrapbook journaling'. My made up name for just piddling around with thoughts put with creative designs.
There's a lot of things I wonder about... too many to put in a book or on a blog post. However, I did like this grouping of wondering from Ralph Fletcher (whomever that might be) that I found and added it to my book.
The first two really caught my eye.. Yes, why did God make some birds fly while other's never get off the ground? And, aren't you supposed to cry when you are sad, not happy? Of course, I do both as do most people but it's just curious, that's all.
I have wondered how do they put concrete down in deep wateer and anchor it to build a tunnel for millions of cars to pass through? How do the workers not drown? And, who in the world ever thought of doing that in the first place.

It is amazing to think about how they build those underwater tunnels. The engineering behind them, like using immersed tube tunnels where sections are built on land and then sunk into a trench, is pretty incredible. And you're right, someone had to come up with that idea in the first place.
ReplyDeleteI think it's funny about fashion too. Why does something we thought was so cute, look so terrible a few years later! HA!
ReplyDeleteI wonder about the fashion as well. Are there fashion think tanks? I am a deep thinker; always have been. I wonder about a lot of things too. My mind has too many tabs open!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I find myself wondering about something and how it seems impossible to me, but it exists. The internet is a good example! I Google things a lot - its a good boredom buster at work on slow days, but I'm not sure whether I'm really learning anything!
