My mother is a fan of sayings and quotes and quips.  This morning as I was thinking about some things and one of her sayings came to mind. 
 
"If wishes were horses, beggars would ride"
 
Her way of saying, get over it and deal with life the way it is.  Ok Mom, I hear you.  (STILL!) 
 
But I also understand that wishing is ok too.
 
So, wish I will, today at least.
 
I wish . . .
 
~ Nail Polish dried faster.
 
~ I never had to go shopping again. 
 
~ There was no such thing as unmet needs
 
~ I was pretty
 
~ Physical pain would just take a vacation
 
~ Spring was here
 
~ Every beggar had a horse
 
What are your wishes today?

    My father in law was a rough old rancher, he always said; "wish in one hand, shit in the other, see which weights more"
     
    Today I wish my family healthy, I wish my friends sister healthy, I wish everyone good health and long life !

    For me, it was, "Wish in one hand and poop in the other.  See which one fills up first."

    Something about Ifs and buts being candy and nuts, too.  But that one escapes me.
