Call me superstitious but I truly believe in the power of wishing.
Last night I couldn't stop thinking about the wish room that Ott spoke of in this Sunday Scribbles post. I kept wondering what would my three innermost wishes be and this is what I came up with:
I WISH for HAPPINESS for myself & all my loved ones. This wish would help my husband chose a career path that will bring him the happiness he truly deserves. For my Mom & Dad, I think this wish will put an end to their retirement worries & get them to start enjoying these years of freedom. For my lil' sister, I would hope this wish would bring her the happiness she seeks in her professional & private life. And for all my other family members & friends, I hope this wish will put an end to their worries and bring them the absolute happiness I think they deserve.
I WISH to COMMUNICATE with MY loved ones once they've passed away. Since I've never had anyone extrememly close to me pass away I'm scared to think about what my life will be like if I can't see or talk to the people I love most. So with this wish I'd still be able to see and talk to them as if they were still alive.
I WISH for WEALTH. I don't mean to come off as being shallow or ungrateful for wishing for money because I'm really not. But let's face it being wealthy can be beneficial & rewarding. Wishing for wealth would allow me the time & opportunity to pursue my dreams, travel, and help my family & friends.
So when blowing out my birthday candles, finding a random eyelash on my shirt, or saying the exact same words/statement as a loved one I'll think of these wishes & hope my genie is listening.
Wish #2 is a really good one - a lot of people named superpowers of one sort or another - but I think this would be better than time travel or wings to fly. I'm glad Sunday Scribblings led me here.
By the way - Cute birthday photo!

It is so easy to see that your wonderful wishes are straight from the heart. I especially like the honesty of the 3rd wish...when money is thought of as a resource to help people and not something to be selfishly hoarded for its own sake, then it is indeed an asset
the photo is precious...is it you as a child?

Hi! Thanks for dropping by my Scribble. I like these wishes of yours. And I agree about the money. It might not make the world go 'round, but it makes it a go 'round a little smoother. ;)

Thanks for making one of your wishes about the happiness of your loved ones. For the most part your wish has come true because I am happy most of the time; the moments when I'm not happy I call you.
