can my last wish be for more wishes?!?!?

I wish...
I would have stuck with playing the piano. My mom told me I would regret quitting one day. (One of the millions of things she is right about).
I wish...
flowers grew as quick and thick as weeds.
I wish...
I could go back to Singapore and E. Malaysia. Sometimes I miss them so much that parts of me ache-mostly my heart.
I wish...
I were better at showing appreciation to people who help me along my way. Sometimes I think all I do is think about me.
I wish...
they didn't show The People's Court on TV. While we're on this topic, I wish they didn't show blood and guts on TV either. Grosses me out!
I wish...
I had a bike. Just an FYI for those of you who have stuck with me through my non-blogging months-I didn't learn to ride a bike till I was eight. I have a fear of trying new things-it's a fear as real as my fear of sharks.
I wish...
raising kids was easier. No need to elaborate-it speaks for itself.
I wish...
I was a more eloquent speaker. Sometimes when I am talking, I wonder what in the world I am even trying to say.
I wish...
my children knew their Great Grandpa Hiskey. They would have loved him-just like I did-and still do!
I wish...
my kids would stay in their own beds Honestly-it is an every night thing!
I wish...
I were more content with the things I have and not so concerned with the things I don't! I really am quite blessed. I, like many of you, have things I want to work on, but I really want to just be able, at the end of the day, say, "Thank you for all that I have."

I'm reminded of a great song from "Into the Woods" about wishing. You should check it out if you're not familiar with it!
