In the past three years, I don’t think I have passed a fountain without being asked if I had any money we could toss in for a wish, equally, I am pretty sure not a single gumball machine hasn’t been coveted by small eyes. When possible, we stop for a wish and a bubble, often we are just too busy or I don’t have the required tokens.
I am trying to embrace life, knowing that time is so short, and it is still Ja”nu”ary. I am also trying to improve my posture (or at least my overall well being) by reducing some of the stress and tension I carry in my shoulders about life. I can’t think of a better way than throwing pennies in a fountain and blowing then popping bubble gum with my sidekicks.
Going forward, I will always carry in my pocket a penny and a quarter. The touch will remind me to embrace life and just breathe! I will always be ready for the next stipend that a wishing well requires, full of hope, patience, and just a little more calm.
I LOVE this! What a great reminder to take the time to be present in each moment– especially with your “sidekicks!”
Thanks so much Christy. Hope you are well! Thanks for the support!

Wonderful work MeriAnn. I’m confident that Lucy is very much aware of what we do in this life, therefore, I’m very confident that she’s proud of you for who you are and the woman that you’ve become.
Thanks Matt. Much of this, I really do for her.
