I want a magic door that will take me ANYWHERE. All I have to do is stand at the door and announce where I want to go, open the door - THERE I AM! But I want to be able to go back in time too. It would be so lovely to hang out with people who are no longer here. Is that morbid? I'm just a grown woman who still misses her grandma terribly! But I also want to go to Hawaii anytime I want to so that door would really come in handy then!

Here is my wish, and it has nothing to do with writing. I wish for good health. Whenever I find a penny heads up and I pick it up that's my wish. I've been through so much death in my life that I know that if you don't have your health, you have nothing. All the money in the world can't cure you of a deadly disease. So, my wish is for good health so that I'm able to care for my family and raise my sons to be kind, loving and caring young men. that's my wish -- always:)Buffy Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033283884801658206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8449147139519589668.post-69909730369600702062010-08-25T05:18:45.704-05:002010-08-25T05:18:45.704-05:00Your absolutely right...we make our own luck and i...Your absolutely right...we make our own luck and if you live life with a positive attitude then I firmly believe that positive things happen!<br /><br />A magic coin and a wish eh...I think i would wish that no-one had to live in poverty!

I once found $87 within ten minutes an' although I tried to find the owner, no one claimed it. It happened to be on a day when we were desperate, too. I also believe in miracles.<br /><br /> ~ YayaYaya' s Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10766073744832801633noreply@blogger.com
