Wishes

I have many, but really, who doesn't?

• I wish I could be a fantastic cook (not chef...way too formal) with skills worthy of the Foodnetwork. Although I don't really want to be on TV, I just want the skills worthy of TV. :)
• I wish to be an interesting photographer. One that has style and beauty.
• I wish for the people that I love to feel that love and to be truly happy in their lives.
• I wish for one more conversation, smile, hug, meal and laugh with my sweet Mother.
• I wish I had a knack for interior design.
• I wish to end world hunger.
• I wish for..................................................................honestly, this list is never ending.

Wishes are healthy and inspirational and often can turn into reality. When I wish I try to make them realistic so that they are obtainable, but alas some wishes will always be just that, wishes.

So, why all this talk about wishes? Well, this morning I plugged in one of my favorite gifts ever, I mean EVER. My Sony Reader.

When I do this the software always brings up their book store (and why wouldn't it, any way to get you to spend money, right) and every time I find myself spending at least 20 minutes browsing and wishing I could by them all. We would be in the poor house if I did, I love books, I can't get enough of them.

There is a saving grace though, Sony has conveniently added a "Wish List" tab so that I can keep track off all the books I pine for.

Now here are some wishes (in no particular order) that will become a reality very soon. I like that thought, it's a good way to start a Monday! :)
