   Wow. Thanks for this post. Its made me have a little think, which, after the day I’ve had, is no bad thing! After yet another day is through and before I’ve had the chance to catch up with myself, I find that I wish for something. Appreciation. Its so easy to forget and perhaps miss completely some of the little things in life. A shared smile, A quiet walk, a child learning something new, creating some art of some sort. Slowing down to take a breath is so very important. So for myself, I wish patience. It’s one of my weaker/most overlooked attributes. I find it very easy to be impatient, which when working with children pushes you to the extreme.So working on patience and appriciation of the little things, Lets me have a teeny time out, even if for a minute! I’m finding I am so much more patient these days,learning that Its ok to take my own sweet time So, yeah, thats a working wish then ….

   Jen: Yay. Thanks for sharing. I love it when a post I create makes a connection like this. Makes it sooo much more meaningful for me too. And I agree with you - appreciation is a great ‘working wish’ to have. Hope you get all the appreciation you need! I know I definitely appreciate getting to know you.

   sushi: That’s a nice thing to do! And yeah - what a wish. I hope that you do get it. I do believe that true love definitely exists and I’m fairly certain not all men are jerks. But, I know that it’s more difficult to get that message across if your experiences tell you otherwise. That’s why I hope that things will turn around for you. And, as to me looking like Karen Cheng - Heh. Thanks, I guess. I do know Karen (we’ve been blog buddies for a few years now. Even met each other in person a few years ago). She’s a lovely person! A gorgeous girl inside out. So, I’m honoured. Anyway, thanks for saying hello. Off to visit your blog now.
