When do you wish?

Well it's funny, I remember when I was a little girl and would see a shooting star, I'd always close my eyes and wish with all my might. In my head my dreams would become like a Roald Dahl novel, and there was a magic that came along with it and a belief that would somehow make my wishes a reality.

I remember a few weeks ago though, I was looking up at the night sky when I saw the first falling star I had seen in AGES. I almost started to panic. I scanned my brain trying to think, quickly, of something that I truly wanted but kept coming up blank. I mean, SURE there are certain wishes I make to myself everyday, but at the same time I think that the journey I'm making in pursuit of these wishes would probably be a lot more beneficial than the fulfillment itself. I know there are certain things in my life that are never going to happen, but maybe that hope, faith and motivation that comes from these desires will push me to one day get somewhere even greater.

Anyway, at first I felt a little frustrated with myself, not being able to come up with anything to wish for. I mean, I'd just WASTED a shooting star whilst mulling over why I didn't really want anything.. but then this feeling changed as I realized the absurdity of what I was thinking. I'm content. I love where I am, where I am going and excited to further discover the unfolding mystery which is life.

I couldn't have wished for anything better. ;)
