i wish....

....i were an artist. despite my efforts to be artistic, most of my works do not turn out like they should.

....i could play the guitar.

....money was never a problem (ok, i know God is in control, and on those terms, it is never an issue, but you know what i mean)

....my store manager would schedule me to work during the week more. weekends are already like a jigsaw puzzle.

....i understood myself and never went through doubts, struggles, and down times. but i guess that's what makes the "up times" even better.

....i had a new car. :-)

....to one day not have to be on the phone so much with the people i love.

....i knew more about how computers work and how to fix things. that goes for cars too.

....i could speak Romanian fluently. and Spanish. and French. and Swahili. and Chinese. and Russian. and Arabic. ok, so i guess i really wish for there to be no language barrier. dumb tower of babel.

....i could sew. making my own clothes, doing my own alterations would be awesome.

....i were always motivated to work out and eat healthy. it seems to come in spurts.

....there were not an ocean between here and Romania and it was as easy as a little drive to see my kids.

i think that's all for now. :-) in thinking about these few things that i wish could happen or were possible. it's interesting to note which ones are actually attainable and within reach. maybe we don't take enough credit and action on what we wish could happen. it's just that most of the time we want it now, without working for it, taking action, or putting much thought into the process.
