Waiting and Wishing


Maybe she's waiting and wishing for more snow. Maybe she's waiting and wishing for somebody to take her outside to play in the snow. Maybe she's waiting and wishing for Mickey to show up and taker her to Disney World. Maybe she's waiting and wishing for Granny Lu to put down the camera.

It seems like we're all waiting and wishing for something. Sometimes we wait and wish because it's easier than working hard to make something happen. Sometimes we wait and wish because it's an escape from the current situation. Sometimes we wait and wish because we just don't know what else to do.

But eventually we have to do something because all that waiting and wishing won't get us anywhere. And while waiting and wishing may give us a direction and a dream, it's really up to us make it happen.

It did snow some more, and she did go outside, and Granny Lu did put down the camera. And while Mickey didn't show up, she'll be going back to Disney World. If a one-year-old can do it, then certainly I can, too.
