If Wishes Were Pennies I'd Be Wealthy

I wish I was brave.

I wish that sometimes my mind was quicker and things, responses, came to me in the moment and then I had the courage to say them. 

I also wish that I had the courage to say them in those times when they do come to me in the moment. 

I wish I was not so easily surprised at the harm people can do to each other, even those they claim to love or are supposed to protect. 

I wish I was not surprised when the same people keep doing the same harm over and over. 

I wish I had the guts to say enough.

I wish I was tougher. 

I wish I had stood up for myself and someone I love when the chance presented itself recently rather than be gobsmacked and shocked silent and into tears. 

I wish I could blog out my feelings in more specific terms without fear of it hurting or upsetting others.

I wish my son would wake up & act before it is too late but I am afraid it already is.

I wish there wasn't a new Twilight book coming out but instead another Harry Potter book. 

I wish I could spend time with more of my Leaky friends more often. 

I wish so many things for myself and those I love dearly......

a heart

a brain

the courage
