…seen a star fall without making a wish.
…met my wife.
…stopped thanking God for saving my son.
Patron 1 …been to Europe.
Patron 2…No need to go. Obama is turning the U.S.A. into it.
Patron 3…We should be so lucky!
…been taken seriously.
…seen an aura.
…run a full marathon. This won’t be true tomorrow!
…not doubted myself.
…been with a man who deserves me.
…doubted myself.
…been to Barcelona.
…flown a plane.
…danced in public.
…been without hope.
…saved a life.
…had a daughter.
…been a mom.
…loved someone as much as I love Greg.
…had sex.
…admitted to anyone or even myself the exact nature of my defects.
…loved without losing something.
…eaten a PB & J sandwich.
…stopped believing in the goodness in people.
…loved a person as much as I love Helena.
…been published.
…asked the right questions.
…thought with my head.
…counted myself among the lucky.
…loved anyone as much as I love myself.
…cut myself on purpose.
…been able to look away from open windows when passing by other people’s homes.
…done anything I’m proud of.
…cared enough about anything to worry about losing it.
…been as filled with joy as I am today!
…considered other people’s feelings.
…walked out of the house naked. There is always tomorrow.
Thanks to all those who wander through and stop to share themselves with us.
