Is it bad to make Wishes? We’ll see
In recent days, I find myself making wishes and hoping that life will get better for friends, family, and myself.
My main wish is that a cure be found for dementia, Alzheimer's…not to mention cancer and other life-threatening diseases. I hope cures will be available in my lifetime.
Not to be rich or anything, but I would hope that families, including my own, have money to live a normal life. My main wish is that there be a reduction in gasoline and electricity prices to help some of us people survive.
Other wishes of mine:
*For people to respect other people just like they would want to be respected. Individuals should know that they don’t have to be afraid of other humans and that everyone should get along.
*To see deceased loved ones once again, at least once, to let them know how much you cared about them. It would be nice, in my eyes, if people could live longer and it’sGod’s will.
*That all food was healthy.
*For me, personally, to learn more about technology.
*That there be less crime in neighborhoods and there be more justice for those people who were victims of crimes.
*Be kind to others, especially when they accomplish something to be proud of, such as a recognition in retirement, company awards, a promotion, graduation, marriage, anniversary, birthday, etc.
*Be kind to children, so, in turn, they can do the same for others while growing up.
Well, everyone, have a great week, year, and life!
