Shooting Stars


Funny thing, up until about two weeks ago, I had never seen a shooting star (that I can recall....). Get this, I have seen two in the last two weeks! Crazy-I know! So what did I wish for you ask? Well, I can't tell you that. You know what they say, 'if you don't make a wish it can't come true...' Oh wait. That's not what they say, but that's what happened. I didn't make a wish.
In my defense....they disappear so quickly! My head only has time to process, "wait I think that's a..., dang it! I should have made a wish!" It's not that I don't have things on my wish list....cause I do. Two of those could be crossed off the list if I was on to it! What does this say about me? (Let me make a stretch of a generalization real quick) I think it just goes to show that you can't always take the time to analyze things. Some moments will pass you right on by if you hesitate. So what if it's not a shooting star?-wish first! Seriously.
Don't you worry, next time, I'll be ready with my wish. I'll wish first and analyze later. As I think my generalization does have relevance to my life...I am resolving to hesitate less and live for the moment a little more. For now, I guess I'll just have to pretend that airplanes in the night skies are like shooting stars. Cause I could really use a wish right now.

  1. When it gets really cold, we should totally have a cabin night up in WI and count the shooting stars up there. The sky is so clear and brilliant! That way you can get more wishes to come true :)
