I wish...

I wish that I had been a better blogger this last almost two months.

I wish that I could explain everything to everyone about every reason why in a way that was eloquent, coherent, truthful and just to everything that has gone on, but I don't know how.

I wish that I could make my allergies go away.

I wish that I could make the stress my husband deals with every day less.

I wish that I could find a way to express how much he means to me and how much he is my rock, my foundation and my joy.

 

I wish that I could bottle up each and every precious moment shared with Roslyn and never forget how she sounds and smells and feels when she is cuddled up in my arms.

I wish that I could understand and reach those who choose to cause hurt and pain.

I wish that I could take away every lie and harsh word that has ever damaged or hurt a person.

I wish that I could allow myself the time to tend to my own heart and soul.

I wish to be the kind of friend that my true friends are to me.

I wish that I were inspired right now.

I wish that I could tell everyone I love how much that they mean to me.

I wish for open communication and truth.

I wish for more adventures for my days.

I wish for more discipline to achieve my goals.

I wish for the heart to just let it all be.

I'm keeping my wishes safely in my heart and for now I will simply choose happiness and joy and peace.
