		<description>Sheila dropped a penny into the well. &quot;I wish I had a dollar for every cent I spend on wishing wells,&quot; she said, eyes shut and fingers clutching seven more pennies in her left hand.
&quot;Why don&#039;t you save your change and buy a lottery ticket.&quot; Stan had no use for wishing wells, thought they were the work of the devil.
&quot;You are the antichrist,&quot; said Sheila, and wished with all her might that he would simply disappear.

		<description>How true. While I want to set goals for a better future, too often what I want to become never happens because I don&#039;t live my best in the now.</description>

		<description>&quot;I wish that my wishes no longer brought me sadness, for I look at what I&#039;ve wished for and it&#039;s all wishful thinking. What I&#039;ve envisioned stays in my mind, beautiful, luring me. Yet when I look at the true results....&quot; With that, Joel sighed, made a wish that he wasn&#039;t so lazy, and then rolled over in his bed.</description>

		<description>“I wish that people would not turn left from the right lane on one way streets,” Beth complained, evil tentacles of road rage creeping into her voice.
  
“I wish that we had transporters and could eliminate roads,” said Scotty.

“People would butt in line,” Beth said.

“Transporter rage…”  Scotty sighed.</description>

		<description>Hate, actually takes too much time...doesn&#039;t it?  It takes way too much planning and coniving.  It&#039;s never just a free-flowing thing...like love or joy or glee.  It&#039;s all about scheming and revenge and retaliation and spite.  In the scheme of life I find it&#039;s just not practical and doesn&#039;t fit my schedule.  Whatever my daily dose of life requires....tolerance, strength, patience, love, endurance, common sense, humor, will power.... apparently it isn&#039;t hate....actually.</description>

		<description>I wish I could be happy in the moment and fully appreciate that even in the most ordinary of situations, I am moving toward some future experience that will reveal the importance of living through the mundane.  

I wish I could find peace in the mystery of all that I cannot understand.</description>

		<description>In the warm summer evening, the low sun paints a golden road across the ocean waves.  It is romance.   

In the crisp fall morning, the low sun paints the green grass, the golden wheat and the silver barn luminous against the deep blue sky.  It is life.

		<description>“If I am your very favourite person in the world – why are you so crotchety with me?  How can you be so angry with the rest of the world, and yet take it out on me?  Don’t you love me?”

“It’s not love; its hate, actually,” he replied.

		<description>“What’s up?” he asked.  “This better be urgent.”

“Sort of,” she said.  “We’ve had a cat set back.  They’ve decided to go on strike – for more catnip.”

“What?  They can’t!  We’ll be overrun with mice!”

“Tell me about it - such is life in the cheese business.”
