Window Wishing on Wednesday

Copyright AJ Horton

Happy Wednesday.  Meet my dog, Lucy.  She is a mostly indoor dog that dreams of being outside. Lucy loves to sit on her couch upstairs and look out into the yard and the neighbor's deck and wish she were able to be out chasing the neighbor's cats.  She wouldn't hurt them, though.  Lucy just likes the chase.  Oh, if wishing only made her dreams come true.....

How was your Wednesday?  Was it a wishing Wednesday?  Were you at the window wishing?  Whatever you did on this Wednesday, I hope you enjoyed it.  I wish for you a good Wednesday evening.  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Hopeful Saturday

Dandelions flower and then turn into a pretty arrangement of seeds.  Many of us like to pick them when they go to seed, take a deep breath and blow off the seed while making a wish.  It's just one of those fun things you do as a child and as an adult.  Maybe even some of what you wished for came true (especially if you wished for more dandelions).  Maybe none of your wishes came true.  But with blowing on the seeded dandelion you one day realize that what you're actually spreading with your breath is hope.   And hope is a wonderful thing to have.  You can't buy hope in a store, you can't pick it up off the street, it's not in your car.  Hope lives in each of us, in our attitude, in our breaths, and as we blow on the fragile, seeded dandelion.

It's Saturday.   What is your hope for today?  Shopping?  Playing?  Working?  TV?  World Peace?  How will you spread your hope?  Whatever you do - be safe and have fun.  And I hope you do.

So as you go through your Saturday, as with all days, keep hope alive!  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.
