My 20 Wishes

I love the knitting series by Debbie McComber.    Twenty Wishes is the last one I read...  (There are 4 books in the series and I have read them all but I read 3 and 4 out of order.  Not sure why?)   Anyway, I absolutely love how she writes because I feel connected to the characters - they seem as real as you and me...  In this book the ladies each write a list of 20 wishes and then works to make those wishes come true...  Not all of the wishes were fancy - and I would not say the lists were bucket lists.  These were just wishes that meant something to each of them, and if I recall most of their wishes came true by the end of the story.... 

So I got to thinking about that after I finished the book.  What would my 20 wishes be?  And I have thought of that often after I finished the book.  So today on my 36.5 birthday, I am write those 20 wishes out and see what happens from here.

1.  Learn to knit or crochet.  (yes the books are inspiring - but I really want to make an afghan - I love those things!)
2.  Go to a ski resort in the winter and stay holed up in the cabin near a fire with a good book and my family.  
3.  Cook in my new and improved kitchen.
4.  Go to the Grand Canyon.
5.  Learn to make a basket.
6.  Plant apple trees in my yard so I could make applesauce and pies.
7.  Have a total organized attic.  (I know that sounds like a task but if you know me - you know how excited I get when things are organized).
8.  Catch a foul ball (without breaking anything).
9.  Teach my kids to snorkel.
10.  Have fresh flowers in my house more often.
11.  Play soccer in the rain with my family.  (It always looks like so much fun when they do it on The Big Green).
12.  Get dressed up really fancy and go on a date (that I did not plan any aspect of) with my husband - at an event that is not a wedding or a funeral. 
13.  Replace my porch swing...  and put hanging baskets near it...  so I could swing and watch my flowers throughout the summer...  2 of my all time favorite things to do.
14.  Learn to identify more birds.
15.  Play kickball.  Gosh, I used to rock at that game.  (without breaking anything).
16.  Be a blessing when no one knows it was me.
17.  Go for a hike and end it with an old fashion picnic!
18.  Watch the sun rise while sitting on the beach.
19.  Walk in a half-marathon.
20.  Drive in a car.... that is a convertible!!!!!!!!!


What do you wish for?
