If ye had 3 wishes......

[waiting4mypirate]

If ye had three wishes what would they be? ( this could be interesting)

[Cap'n Pete Straw]

You were supposed to stipulate "No fair wishing for more wishes." So, assuming that additional wishes are not allowed...

I am so happy with my life, I cannot imagine what I would wish for. No, really, it's been that good.

Perhaps ...

(1) Enough money to be independently wealthy enough to be able to have nothing but spare time for the remainder of my life (not ALL the money, just ENOUGH). that includes paying off the house, the cars, getting another motorcycle, stocking enough for all the kids through college, and then investing in my own dream store/business which, if it fails, I still have enough to live on.

(2) The ability to relive any event (i.e.: an hour or a whole day) in my life. Not "Do-overs," just "Do-agains." I've had some pretty damned good times.

(3) Probably some sort of body improvement (i.e.: lose weight or toning) without the grueling work-out regimine which I am apparently too lazy to do anyway.

• For my wife to have never been afflicted with Multiple Sclerosis
  
• To have learned to ride and enjoy horses far earlier in life
  
• To have seen my father one more time before he passed on

Jack, truly lovely that there is so little that you wish for. You must indeed be a happy man.

For me?

Like Pete, enough money. For me enough would be for security. Just enough to keep a roof over my head and keep me and a loved one or two fed. Then I would have no fear of venturing into the world to seek what my talents could bring me. What I could make on stage, whatever stage, however small. I would love to be a busker at fests and fairs. To sell my artwork and share those talents also. Then i hope I would be contented with that income for the gravy.

Perfect health again with the body that I would have had if I had taken care of this one. Including but not exclusive to the following: weight, knees, hands, feet.

Drive. I want to be one of those people who "just do it" describes. So many ideas have gone unexicuted because I have put them off. I hate being a procrastinator!

[waiting4mypirate]

thanks for correcting me cap'n Pete I should of gave that warning...

as to my 3 wishes I am still thinking... I will get back to you.. lol

and Jack... very heartwarming..

[Kendra The Sea Maid]

1. To have my mom and dad in perfect health

2. To be a dancer!

3. and to be finacially secure

[PyratePhil]

I'm of the conviction that if I post my wishes, they'll never come true...

...and since I'd really like them to, I regretfully will stay mum on the topic.

[Silkie McDonough]

I'm of the conviction that if I post my wishes, they'll never come true...

I agree but since my wishes will not happen magically I can wish all I want. Mine can come true but I must be proactive in them. At that point they are no longer wishes and then become goals ...except for the perfect health one ...I'll never get 100% of the cartledge in my knee back. I may never get rid of the arthritus in my hands.

[Cap'n Pete Straw]

Yeah... dealing with the arthritis in my hands (actually the balls of my thiunbs) and my knees may be the "Physical improvement" part of my wishes.

[PyratePhil]

but since my wishes will not happen magically I can wish all I want.

You never know...magic is all around us - we just don't always have the senses to know it.

Mine can come true but I must be proactive in them.  At that point they are no longer wishes and then become goals ...except for the perfect health one ...I'll never get 100% of the cartledge in my knee back.  I may never get rid of the arthritus in my hands.

Granted, it helps to put a little sweat in with the prayers.

But never say never. Stranger things have happened, and will continue to happen. That's why they call it "magic"...

Fair Winds and Following Seas

A sturdy ship

And a star to steer her by.

[Merrydeath]

Happiness.. and the sense to know that I have within me, and the time to enjoy it for a long while.

I'd also love to have a long sleep, curled up in a warm bed, and to wake to the smell of coffee and bacon.. and know that someone loves me enough to do that for me.. then to lay together in bed and read books or the paper, or watch Tv or just snuggle.....

simple things...

like the health of the people around me, enough money so I don't worry about bills, a job that is secure and makes me feel good..

Okay its more then 3, but these are the things I would like..

(closes her eyes and makes a wish)

[waiting4mypirate]

ok after thinking long and hard .. here I go

1. That no child be harmed- (abused and such)

2. For my mother to overcome Cancer (and it stay gone)

3. that one day I may return to the sea

Sounds corney Ay? But weighs deep on my heart...

and if i got one more I would have to agree with Merrydeath on this one... i would wish for happiness... ( and to experience love like i have never known it)

ok done... lmao

[Rumba Rue]

For upteen years I've always thought about this if I was ever granted three wishes. These are the three that I feel are the most important to me.

1. For my back to be straight and healthy

2. To own a horse again

3. Win the lottery

sounds like a poem i read as a kid

[DocF225]

and to wake to the smell of coffee and bacon..

MMMM coffee and bacon.... could I change one of my wishes????

[Merrydeath]

of course you can... unless that jinxes them..

Lady Snow-

Sea Fever

I must go down to the seas again,

to the lonely sea and the sky,

And all I ask is a tall ship

and a star to steer her by,

And the wheel's kick and the wind's song

and the white sail's shaking,

And a grey mist on the sea's face

and a grey dawn breaking.

I must go down to the seas again,

for the call of the running tide

Is a wild call and a clear call

that may not be denied;

And all I ask is a windy day

with the white clouds flying,

And the flung spray and the blown spume,

and the sea-gulls crying.

I must go down to the seas again

to the vagrant gypsy life,

To the gull's way and the whale's way

where the wind's like a whetted knife;

And all I ask is a merry yarn

from a laughing fellow rover,

And quiet sleep and a sweet dream

when the long trick's over.

I wish.... that I had wishes as altruistic, as caring, and as wise as those posted by other people. In retrospect, my wishes suck.

Hey, wishes that suck might not be all bad......

[Cap'n Pete Straw]

No, my wishes suck. Not that I wished for things that suck.

[DocF225]

No, my wishes suck. Not that I wished for things that suck.

Oh ....missed a preposition or two.

[Black Syren]

To live comfortably and not have to worry over money or health issues, To be the best I can be, and to love and be loved as if each day were the last.

I think those would be my wishes...

[LongTom]

No, my wishes suck. Not that I wished for things that suck.

Well, -- no, on second thought, don't even go there.
