I love lists. I love making a list for anything and everything - "to do" at home, "to do" at work, gift ideas, packing lists, on and on and on. I sometimes add things to my "to do" lists that I've already done, just so I can cross them off. I also color-coordinate them - each member of the family has their own color (including the dog!). When I joined Pinterest my heart sang - I see my boards as lists of things to do.
When Anne from Love the Here and Now contacted me about her new link up, Wednesday Wishes, my heart sang again - I could make another list of things that I wish for my week, weekend, or life in general. I'm sure that some weeks I will have one wish, others I might have a lot. Some might be serious, some will be light-hearted, but all will be things that I can hopefully have happen. Afterall, isn't that the point in wishing?
This week, I am wishing for:
- A smooth trip to Indianapolis this weekend. I always get nervous taking the littles for a road trip. What if they don't sleep? Get cranky? Don't have fun? Will the dog be ok in the car?
- Some quality time with family. We are going to Indy to see Tim's cousin and wife. I love that his family is so close.
- More time to read my new book. I know I am so far behind on this, but I just started reading Gone Girl and am hooked. (no spoilers please!!)
- Strength and courage for some major events going on in my friends' lives.
- The most happiest of days for my mom, step-mom and mother in law on Sunday. (And wishing and hoping that the presents I ordered get there in time!)
