My Wish

See that box right above this audio?  This is so true, all of it. I have witnessed this many, many times in my 42 years of being on this planet. I am truly one VERY blessed woman, mother, daughter, and friend. Because of so many undeserved blessings which have been bestowed upon me, I have this hopeful belief that most people are inherently good. I am so thankful for my friends, my angels, who have helped me along on my journey in one way or another. People I know well...and then again, people I don’t know at all. Just the other night, the car ahead of me in a fast food drive-thru paid for my order. People came to visit me and called and texted when I was in the hospital. One of my goodest friends even came to my house and watched the kids last week, on a Wednesday, so that I could go to work...and she took them swimming and wore 'em out and then brought them back here and cleaned my house. Recently, a rockin' couple I know invited me to see one of my favorite groups, Chicago, in concert. Throughout college, I had two teachers who routinely sent gifts of carrot cupcakes, money, thoughtful cards that reminded me to hang in there and that they believed in me. Whenever I go walking (which doesn't happen nearly enough!) concerned people in our small town stop to make sure I'm not broken down somewhere and ask me if I need a ride. I could go on and on and on, but to be honest, I cannot begin to remember the countless times people have helped me out -- and helped me UP. Thank you to the wonderful people who have helped me along in my days. I truly believe we reap what we sow, and I hope to be able to recognize a need when I see one so that I may be able to do my part by paying it forward and being a blessing to others. I know it's not much, but this is my heartfelt tribute to the special people in my life who have always wished for me the very best...even when I most certainly did not deserve it.  <3 <3 <3
