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.
Ouch.
