Day 1319 | I Wish...
/
This is officially my first blog post derived from one of my expressive writing sessions. This morning’s session was 15 minutes of this “I wish…” type of string of consciousness. Do you know how hard it was to tear that up after I decided it would be a great blog post? Trust me. It was hard. And it’s funny that my list is a very different now than it was first thing this morning.
Maybe there will be more of these types of posts. Maybe this will be the only extension of my twice/day ritual. I guess time will tell.
**Please note this is not a bigger-picture wish list encompassing things like "world peace" or "equal rights". I thought that might get a bit heavy.**
I wish...
- I wish manicures lasted longer (the regular ones).
- I wish my boys wouldn’t be exposed to unkind words + actions.
- I wish my laundry would magically put itself away.
- I wish I could read a book to the boys every time they ask for it.
- I wish I was more sympathetic to sick people [Chris].
- I wish showers were easier to clean.
- I wish I could eat ice cream all the time.
- I wish I could craft whenever I wanted.
- I wish winter didn’t last so long.
- I wish I could get to bed earlier.
- I wish I had more time to read.
- I wish dirty chai lattes didn’t have milk in them.
- I wish I could buy my boys everything they want but keep them grateful and grounded.
- I wish I could fix healthier meals for my family (like the kind that don't have gluten, soy, dairy, refined sugar, white flour...).
- I wish we could act on the bathroom renovation epiphany we just had.
- I wish I liked to hold hands.
- I wish I could take more naps.
- I wish Donald Trump wasn't the President.
- I wish I didn’t feel guilty when I have other people caring for my kids.
