I often wonder......
I hear people say that if they could only win the lottery..... (then they would be happy supposedly). But what if you were granted a one-time wish for one thing you always wanted or one thing that would make you happy, what would you wish for (no price limit)?
Would you wish for a job; for a house; for a new car; for a trip to Disney Land?
If you could have what you wish for, would it make you happy?
I have thought about this and I have tried on many wishes in my mind. If I had a new car, would it eventually age and I would be right back with an old car.
If I had a new house, would I be able to afford maintenance and decorating it, the taxes?
If I had a trip to Disney Land, it would be only once.
If I had a vacation home somewhere, would I be able to afford to maintain it and to travel to it?
I feel I would be likewise disappointed or burdened if I had a new boat, a swimming pool, a shopping spree, a luxury of any kind. What could I wish for that would truly make me happy?
What I would really want is good health, to see my children and grandchildren more often, for may husband’s health, to spend more time with friends and family.
Please advise me. Share the one-time wish you would have.

I wish everyone (in the NEK, in the nation, in the world?) would wake up tomorrow morning with an abiding care and concern for the welfare of (their neighbors, their fellow Americans, their planet). There are so many good things that follow from this. Being other-directed is never boring, it's healthy and helps people feel good about themselves. And we would all be tripping over each other trying to improve the lot of others! Of course that would mean a better life for my children and everyone's children.
