I Hope You Dance ...

     All through out every day there are millions of people asking millions of questions. I think that out of every question that I have ever heard or ever been asked MY favorite goes like this: If you had 3 wishes what would they be?

If you really think about that question, really dig deep into your soul there is a fairly simple answer to each of the 3 wonders. At least there is for me. Hands down, I have known the answer I would give every time if a magical genie was bored one day and decided to pop out in front of me granting me my fondest hopes and dreams in a pair plus one.

     The way the World is today. How people are. How people were raised. I would just about bet they would answer in this way:
#1. I want to be rich.
#2. I want to be famous.
#3. I want 3 more wishes but alas, there are only 3 wishes total to be given so being greedy "YOU" blew one into thin air but why care right? After all you are already rich and famous. Honestly, what more could anyone ever want then that? I mean, don't think about anything other then yourself right? Who cares about anything or anyone other then that? *Shrugging your shoulders while replying to yourself that you don't know. But you know what? I think you do know and now that you WASTED those precious wishes on yourself you are starting to feel guilty maybe even wishing you could take them back and start over but you can't. You. Can. Not. There are no go backs. There are no do overs. You made the choice. It is what your heartless and mindless conscience wanted and now it is yours. The Fame. The Money. What? How can you not be happy? How can you not be dancing on air? After all this time everything you have ever wanted is now yours. So, how does it feel? It feels amazing, yes? It is all you ever hoped for and more, isn't it? How fun! Now, how about you tell me why you asked for the foolish things you asked for. I would love to know. Please, tell me what the things you now have can help you advance through this World. Inform me how they are going to help you grow. Tell me how you were so quick to just yank answers from your mind and not your heart when the grant was being made. Tell me, are you proud of yourself?

     When I ask myself any of those questions I have no problem answering them all and yes, I would be very proud of myself for the 3 things I wished for. Maybe I am just different? Maybe I just see things in my own way. Maybe I like not being like everyone else. Maybe I have been believing for so long in (far off) magic that I would never have regrets while talking to the person from the mystical lamp full of smoke.
#1. I would wish the World would be rid of Cancer (F-Cancer!) and all other terminal illness so that all people would remain in perfect health from newborn to the time of their passing at a very, very old age.
*If that were to be granted that would mean my Grandparents would still be here with me and truly that would be the greatest wish in all the land.
#2. I would wish that all people would always have a place to call home and enough food to eat. 
*If this were to be granted no one would ever have to feel hunger or the coldness of the unforgiving rain pounding against them while huddling under a tree as they cry out praying.
#3. I would wish there was NO such thing as abuse. Not to children. Not to animals. Not to elderly.
*If this was to be granted everyone could live in peace not having to look over their shoulders cringing with each breath they took next.

       Sure it would be great to be rich and famous but you see, this is something I have thought about. A lot. I always felt that I should because if that magical genie was going to be discovered by anyone, why not be me? Now I know that it is highly unlikely something like that could or would ever happen in my life time or anyone elses but I think that Prince Ali Ababwa (Disney's Aladdin) would very much disagree.

     Note: I am not bashing anyone on what they want, think they want, need or think they need. I guess I am just playing my roll of John Lennon when I say "Lets give Peace a Chance." I very much believe the only way to do that is start with the person in the mirror. So take a good look, that way the next time you hear those 10 words (If you could have 3 wishes, what would they be?) you can feel proud of yourself for whatever it is you are asking for.

Can I just blame it on that?

                                        Day 153. Is that even believable?       I can answer that in just two letters. No.  Even more unbelievable is that there are only 213 more days left until we start to "ring" in a new year. I mean like, what? How even?      How even? There is a question that I am unable to answer.  Beings that 1/2 of the 2024 year is already over: have I done anything I took the time to write on paper during the end of the 2023 glitter fest happening around me? I can answer that in two letters too. No.      Maybe it has something to do with the fact that all the seasons seem off this year? Can I blame it on that? Seriously, here it is June and the sky is looking like a dream today. The air is chilly, it is gloomy out. Trees are bending much like a lazy weekend would have them doing. A faint smell of burning ...

Sending a Letter to Heaven

                                          Hello Grandma, are you there?      Not to long ago, I came across an article that convinced me to "write a letter" to the person who "took my heart away" when they gained their wings.      As I read it - it told me that the grieving process is much harder for some then it is for others. I believe my "story" goes into the column of (the MOST hard) as it has been. Over twenty years have escaped now since you have left me. My life never being the same from that day on.       I have so many things to ask you and so much to tell you. I truly believe in Angels though and that makes me believe that you know what has been happening in my life.      It is a Saturday afternoon. The rain is gently falling outside. Another beautiful Spring day here in Washington. I have been spending a lot ...

Any cake BUT chocolate.

  My Grandmother's birthday has got to be one of the hardest days to get through since I lost her in 2001. I wrote this awhile back but with September 11th being tomorrow, I thought this might be the right time to share it. I had planned on taking Shurree' out to see Skye today. She has been asking me for a long time, to get pictures of her three kids together. I try so hard to avoid it. Nothing to do with the child. Just not something I am able to handle. Still. It was Mom's day though so I thought I would brave it out. At least attempt too. I wanted to go by my old residence as well. Bike Capital of The Northwest. Wendy's. My first job. The Redmond House. The one I will always call home. Drive up the Old Windy past Adrian's. Maybe stop by my schools? The High School. Home of The Mustangs. My lip had already started to quiver as I knew the memories would overtake me. I was sure I was going to lose it the second I came past Moen's on 171st but ... it didn't ...
