This is a popular one with my mother. She often says "To not have a reason to wish for anything." That's the perfect answer too. Vague, but perfect. Of course, what all would you need to fix to ensure that you would never need to wish for anything else? Millions of things, that's what. I suppose you could dig clear down to the very basic of things that would pretty much fix us all, right? Like, wishing everyone felt the need to recycle or didn't feel the need to hurt each other. Fix world hunger, AIDS, cancer, pollution. But, if I had to pick one specific thing that would only effect me I suppose it would be my emotions. Everyone I know thinks I'm a bitch. In some aspects I take pride in having the guts to say what I think. But it gets so old listening to people say "Smile, it could be worse!" Smeh....I'm not frowning. Or glaring or anything at all really. I'm usually thinking. But there is something about the way I hold my face that makes me look mean. I've seen the same thing in other people's faces and thought to myself "What the hell is their problem?" But there's nothing I can do about this face of mine. My attitude is less than awesome a lot of the time. Or at least that's what people tell me. I like to make jokes, but I don't like them to made about me. I can get very mad and stay that way for extended periods of time. I have very strange moments of zen. Usually I am alone. I can feel this serene feeling when I'm driving and listening to the perfect song or sometimes when I'm just sitting on the couch listening to my kids laugh in the next room. The moments are fleeting, but very strong while they're here. So if I were granted on wish if would be to have more of those moments.
