Not sure what kind of mood I am in tonight, so I will depart from usual ramblings to create an I WISH list….don’t even know what direction it will take, I just plan to write it and see where it takes me.
In no particular order….
I WISH….
Chocolate was declared a food group
Money grew on trees, and those trees grew in my backyard.
My children would stop destroying my house
Time did not seem to fly the older I become
We would understand the importance of family
I embraced more laughter
I could see an ocean
Wood ticks, snakes, and spiders were eliminated from existence
Fall weather and its colors lasted longer
Algebra did not elude me
Words like thong, pantyhose, panties, and jock straps were never uttered
I could hula hoop
All manner of hatred, cruelty, injustice, intolerance, and human and animal abuses would end
I were not afraid of heights, pizza cutters, or water chestnuts
My children understand the joy of sleeping in and taking naps
I did not think Freddy Krueger were not quite so funny.
Prayed more and fretted less
My children a safer and cleaner environment than the status quo
Strength was not measured in what we can accomplish on our own, but within the loving openness of community
Mullets were outlawed
I communicated truthfully without fear of retribution
Our young people loved learning for the sheer joy of adding to their knowledge base
They knew that knowledge is power
We realized we do not have to repeat cycles of dysfunction
Boys knew how to aim in the bathroom better
Said bathroom cleaned itself
I lived closer to the mountains
I had three more wishes………….
