Be Careful What You Wish For

We all do it. We say things like: "I wish I had (or had not) ever ........." "If I had known then what I know now I would (or would not) have....." Sometimes we simply say " I wish........"

We do need to be careful not only what we wish for but HOW we wish for it. There is a movie, I think it is called THE WISHING WELL, that is on Lifetime (yes, I am a Lifetime movie addict) that is based on wishes and how wishes are made. A wish will come true IF, and ONLY IF, it is the RIGHT wish. This is an interesting concept. And you HAVE to BELIEVE in the magic of THE WISHING WELL. If only it were that easy but again you need to be careful what you wish for and how.

You may wish that someone leaves you alone because they are so annoying. So you might say something like "I wish NAME HERE would leave me alone." and you might even add "forever" at the end. But the result could possibly happen to a point of no return. That annoying person MAY just simply leave you alone or that person MAY disappear FOREVER. Is that really what you wanted? Probably not - you are not a mean person. You simply wanted a break from that person for awhile. If you had chosen your words more carefully and said something like "I wish that NAME HERE would leave me alone for a little while."

I, like everyone, have wishes. But I try to be careful when and how I wish. I try to word my wishes carefully and I try not to wish often. On this note, my wishes are not always for me.

Anyway, I do try to be careful what I wish for.......
