seven wonders of the world

8:29 a.m.i got this in an email this morning. i thought it was kind of sweet. (i hate forwards above most things, but the one's where it doesn't end with "send to five people or you'll suffer great casualty" or something to that effect are rather annoying and unwelcome in my inbox. sometimes, i'll get an email which has something cool or funny. if i like it enough, i'll cut out the chain letter part and forward it. but rarely.)
A group of students was asked to list what they thought were the
present "Seven Wonders of the World." Though there were some disagreements, the following received 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 makeup 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 see
2. to hear
3. to touch
4. to taste
5. to feel
6. to laugh
7. and to love."
The room was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop.
The things we overlook as simple, ordinary & take for granted are truly wondrous! A gentle reminder - that the most precious things in life cannot be built by hand or bought by man.
