Wishes

Yesterday I heard twice “Your wishing your life away”. Once was when someone said, “I wish it was Friday.” and the other time was when I said, “I wish it was summer vacation already.”

That got me thinking. How many times do I say I wish….. and who is that really affecting besides me??

I mean when you think about it your trying to fast forward your life which in turn is fast forwarding everyone's around you.

I would not only be wishing it was summer vacation already but that would also mean I would be wishing Bub is one step closer to his last year in junior high. Or when I say I wish I was already skinny again. I mean that could be two years from now which is also wishing Bub was closer to being a young adult & off to college which I definitely am not wishing for.

I guess what it comes down to is I really don’t want to wish for anyone else's life around me to speed up because for some that would mean them being one breath closer to leaving this earth and I definitely don’t want to wish for that either. Some people are wishing for one more hour with someone and hear I am wishing for time to speed up. How selfish of me right?….

I don’t know just made me think. So I am going to try really hard not to say that anymore…not saying I won’t ever but I think I will think more about what I am actually wishing for when I say it.
