11:11


Is wishing silly?

Wish -- Verb:
To feel or express a strong desire or hope for something that is not easily attainable; to want something that cannot or probably will not happen.


Ouch.
I wish all the time. 
Anyone who knows me know, 
I have timers on my phone for 11:10
(one minute ahead so I have time to think of a great one) 
I am constantly on the look out for shooting stars, 
(I have impeccable luck at spotting them) 
I take blowing out birthday candles seriously, 
(I spend the whole day thinking of the perfect one) 
I stop at every wishing well,
(I've probably tossed more pennies into those things then I can count) 
and I will fight over the wish-bone on turkey day. 
(I seriously have to stop myself from pouting when they give it to the younger grandchildren) 


Now logically I know wishing isn't really doing me any good, but there is still that little child in there that thinks its the best way to get things done. I also believe in luck. I pick up pennies and look for four leaf clovers, I even wear certain things religiously when entering competitions. Again, logically, not doing me much good. 


Except for the psychological end of it. 
When I believe that making that wish or wearing that necklace under my riding coat is improving what I have already worked towards, I believe that I am sending out good thoughts and feelings and I truly thinks that gets things done.
 Of course with a dab of good old fashion hard work.


So I will continue wishing.
