wishbone wishlist

Thanksgiving Day, a day where you show your thanks for all that you have; some people  know this day as Turkey Day, a day where you have a get together with your family and eat a nice big feast; others also know it as Wishbone Wish Day, a day where you break a wishbone then ask God to grant you a wish. I'm not like most people to me, Thanksgiving Day is not the day to show my thanks for all that i have, it's not the day to have a nice big feast, and it's especially not the day to ask God for a wish. Every single day of my life i show my thanks, not just for what i do have, but also what i don't have. There are millions and billions of things in this world i'm thankful for not having; cancer is one of them, poverty is another, and so is death. Thanksgiving Day is the day where i celebrate my thanks, my thanks for everything. I don't ask God to grant me a wish i wished. God has given me enough, and through all the sins i've sinned, i have no right to God for more than what i already have. I have a beautiful family that makes me feel loved, i have a roof over my head, i have food in my stomach, i have friends that i love like family, i have warm clothes on my skin, i have love, i have life, what more do i need?  If i ask for more, i'm being nothing but greedy. Why would God grant the wish of a person of greed? My life is not the best, yet it's also not the worst. I'm being thankful for what i have while i have it because not all things i have now are things i'll have forever; my life is one of them. I'm thankful for my life even though it has it's dark i will always look to the light and live for it while i can. God gave me a life so i can live and learn from it not so i can end it. With a wish to wish, there is a price to pay. In the past, as i've wished, it's come true letting me gain one thing while i loose another.

Don't wish for happiness. To have a rainbow first must come rain.

Don't wish for your dreams to come true. If you do, your worst nightmares will become reality.

Don't wish for money. Money is nothing but the paper and metal that buys you the end of poverty, and also the start of greed.

Don't wish for courage. The only way to know and feel courage is to know and feel fear, even though there is nothing to fear but fear itself.

Don't wish for strength. To have strength, you will first feel overwhelmed with weakness because of life's thorns piercing through your heart.

Don't wish to be loved. You don't know what feeling love is like unless you feel hated.

Don't wish for pain of any sort upon any being. Pain will not just strike the desired being, it will also strike another.

Don't wish for fame either. Just because fame strikes, it doesn't mean you're walking down the red carpet like you own it. Sometimes fame strikes because you're lying in a coffin' something you do own.

Don't wish for all imperfections to disappear. All things and beings have imperfections because they are imperfections of beauty. There is no such thing as perfect.

Last but not least, don't wish for wisdom. The flames in life can and will teach you painful lessons.

As all people say, "be careful what you wish for".
