  1. Sometimes circumstances, like a death in the family, can temporarily cause someone to lose his sense of wonder.
    Hopefully, he will recover it.

  5. That is apt, Maty, I guess we tend to turn inwards as we grow older, closing our eyes to the endless wonders of the world.

  6. Spot on. I used to joke that you know you're old when your morning face IS your face. I don't make any more age jokes... :)

  14. This is very true. One of the fun parts of having a child is getting a chance to be reminded of this in often surprising ways.
