Sometimes I Wish...

... that my eyelashes were longer.
... that I didn't cry so easily about silly things.
... that I cried more often about things that are important, like movie characters dying. :p
... that I was good at math.
... that I was better at playing piano.
... that I was more confident.
... that I knew how to dance.
... that I had a vibrato.
... that I would stop forgetting words that I wanted to say.
... that I had a better sense of style.
... that I wasn't so ticklish.
... that I didn't lose my temper so easily.

Is it wrong to give voice to our wishes? Is it foolish to imagine what, often times, cannot be? I guess it depends. When I write down my wishes, I realize that many of them are silly. I realize that some of them (like the length of my eyelashes) are unchangeable. Others, such as self-control, are gained only by God's help and a spirit which is willing to learn.

Maybe it's good to write out one's wishes.

Only then can you let them go.
