Wish

 When I retired from teaching in 2002, I sat down at my desk and wrote down what I might want to explore in my retirement years.  One would probably title this a "bucket list."  But you could call this a "wish list."

One wish I had was to attend the Balloon Festival in Albuquerque, NM.  Peggy and I were able to attend this event by joining a program called the Road Scholars.  Through this program we had special privileges to view these huge balloons up close, and see some 400-500 uplift into the atmosphere.  It was quite a sight!

Our wishes can be varied and somewhat evasive.  We don't always get our wishes, as we all learned in kindergarten.  But I highly recommend formalizing some of your wishes into a list.  We don't always get our wish, but by putting down our wishes on paper we may find direction to actually accomplish some of them.

It isn't hard to make a wish.  The difficulty lies in how to make what you wish for a reality.
