A few months ago I read the book "Twenty Wishes" by Debbie Macomber. The story involved a group of women who decided that each would create a list of twenty wishes....not goals or things that they wanted to changeabout themselves, but things that they really wished to experience or have in their lives. While reading this book, wishes of my own started to come to mind and I decided to write my own list. Once I began, it was amazing how many wishes I actually had...39 to be exact.Some of my wishes....
- Fall totally in love with a man who makes me feel treasured
- Spend at least 3 months living in Italy
- Write a book
- Own a bright red roadster convertible
- Do something totally fearless
- Become an accomplished artist
- Stand on the Sydney Harbor bridge
- Cruise through the Greek isles
- Feel the spray of Niagara Falls
- Know that I've truly made a difference in someone's life
Each of these wishes is something I consider very special. So special, in fact, that I decided they needed to be kept in a way that reflected their importance. So I bought two 4 x 6 photo albums and created a page for each wish using scrapbook paper. There's even room for me to add a photo next to each wish as it comes to fruition.
Now, when a day feels overwhelming or I lose my sense of purpose, I can just pull out one of my wish books and find something to look forward to.
