Twenty Wishes
One of my favorite things to do while relaxing is to read. I don’t get to do this often, but when I find I’m reading a good book, my relaxing time often extends itself until the book is finished or I get to a point where I can put the book down for a minute or two. Being a business owner, this can be a problem. But, I’ve had to reschedule my work time to allow for my kids being home from school for the summer, so that seems to leave me with a bit more relax time.
The other day, I read a book by Debbie Macomber, TWENTY WISHES. It inspired me to make my own list of 20 wishes (and yes, I read it in a day -Ooops!). I figured it would be a great way to get me refocused and inspired. I thought it would be easy and fun too. As I read the book, I figured I could write my list in no time and have to start again. Nope! It’s harder than I thought. But I am having fun!
Want to make your own list of 20 Wishes? The sky is the limit. They are your wishes. Things that you want, miss, wish you had, wish you could do etc.
One line of dialog from the book can help too, “Your heart has to let your head know what it wants”. Hmmm. You can almost look at it like Aladin with his Magic Lamp, where the Genie comes out and will grant you 20 wishes, except there is no lamp and no Genie.
The characters also get creative in making their lists. One makes a 20 page Scrapbook, one for each wish, with pictures to go with each wish and a pitcure of that wish being “granted”.
The characters do meet occasionally and share updates on their lists. I don’t think we can meet in person, but we can still share our updates here.
What would your wishes be? Make your list to find out and share here!
