Hmmm. Tough one. I am massive on wishes. Between Favourite Mistake and myself we have managed to come up with all sorts of things that allow you to make a wish. Our favourite, when you see 22:22 on your phone/digital clock. But there is a catch, you have to make the wish and send it off before you see 22:23, and then you have to wait until 22:24 before looking again, else it won't come true. Then wishing as you go under a bridge when a train is passing at the same time.
Then there is the popular wishing on the first star you see. And if you see a shooting star (not as common round these parts). If you find an eyelash, you can wish on that as you blow it away. Wish as you cut a cake, blow out your birthday candles and win the bigger side of the chicken wishbone. Nothing better than finding a folded chip in the pack and making a wish as you eat it. Blowing a dandelion as you wish. A little more complex is the orange segment, if you get a baby one, you have to swallow it whole as you make your wish. Then something I have been doing since Bedelia Nursery School, when you see an ambulance, you touch your head, nose, belly, toes and say I wish I never go in one of those.
AS you can see, we have a family that loves to wish. I think wishing is good for you, it's like a fun word for hope, cause hope seems so much more serious. I guess the rule has some truth in it though, if you keep wishing for a puppy, but you live in a one bedroom flat on the 19th floor, you should probably forget that one. Or in my case, wishing for someone to sweep me off my feet, but my feet are cemented to the floor, so I should forget that one. Instead though, I could change it. It could be wishing for an open heart so that there is space for someone to come in.
This rule is by a World War One Veteran, so probably a little more dramatic than need be, I think it should rather be, If you can't get what you wished for, change it.
I had two beautiful girls helping me with this post today, Cinderella and Whoop Whoop. As a thanks, I'm putting Cinderella's and Whoop Whoop's wish up here. Cinderella wishes to survive her first half marathon and that when she looks back on life she'll see smiles and laughter and happy hearts. And that everyone finds the thing or person that makes their heart smile. Whoop whoop is wishing to pass and get her degree at the end of the year, and to one day be comfy and happy just being her. Both wishes that I would highly recommend not forgetting! :)
Lesson here? Don't ever stop wishing! EVER! Change it if you need to, but don't stop.
