My wish for you...

Mom,
Today I was working in Penticton, teaching my business program for Community Futures and as I was driving home, the song "My Wish" by Rascal Flatts came on the radio. It's a lovely song but I was distracted, thinking of all that I had to do after I got back to Kelowna...go to the gym for a training session, then stop at Staples and superstore for stuff for the hostel, then go to the hostel and spend some time there and then, when that's all done, go home, feed Scotia, put the huge pile of weeds that I picked into the bin for pick-up tomorrow and make something to eat, prepare for tomorrow and have a shower. (I left the house at 7am and got home just before 8:30pm. Now, this isn't much for some people, especially if they have kids...but it was a long day for me.)

As I was picking the weeds, hauling them up the stairs to the bin, the most gorgeous rainbow appeared and the sky turned a bright pink! It stopped me in my tracks and I had to sit on the cement (actually lay on it) and watch the sky in awe. It was overwhelming. Breathtaking, to say the least.

The song by Rascal Flatts came to mind...but I couldn't remember all the words. When I got inside, I googled the words or lyrics to the song.

Mom - without actually saying these words (the lyrics)...they describe exactly what you do...your wish...that you have for others.

Thank you for your wishes, Mom, for loving me, and for ensuring that I know that "somebody loves me".

It's my wish that everyone could have a mom like you.

I love you,
Crystal




"My Wish"

I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you want to go,
And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,

But more than anything, more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,
All the ones who love you, in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
And you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,
And you always give more than you take.

But more than anything, yeah, and more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

This is my wish
I hope you know somebody loves you
May all your dreams stay big
