WISHFUL THINKING
Prompt - Wishful Thinking : Write about a wish you have
I wish, I wish, I wish...
Put that way it smacks of childhood, and childishness.
So I'm now of an age where I don't really wish for anything anymore. There are things I can try to plan towards. Things I know will never happen. Things that might happen, but I have no control over whether they do or not. What's the point of wishing?
But if I forced to say what I would wish for... the list would no doubt change each time I was asked, for there are so many things I could wish for were I so inclined. I could wish that Caps made a comeback and we could be going for our weekly hockey fix across the winter months. I could wish that Edinburgh win the URC championship. I could wish that I was a better writer, more confident in my abilities, able to produce longer works without needing artificial prompts like I am using in this blog. And I could wish for continuing good health for the tree of us - Barbara, Zoe and myself.
But if there was one wish I would want to come true right now it's none of the above, or perhaps it's a subset of the final one. Barbara undergoes major surgery on Tuesday, to remove a cancerous lump. I wish for it to be a success, that all the affected tissue is removed with no further treatment necessary, and that she makes a swift recovery to fitness. There is nothing more important in my life right now.
