It's Wednesday, only two days left to the work week before a long weekend, I'm starting to feel better and I had a good therapy session today. i can't complain too much.
And to top it off, it's wishcasting wednesday. Today Jamie asks:

"Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity." - Martin Luther King Jr.
This is a very fitting question given what is going on in the world at the moment. Syrian citizens are being killed and attacked by their own government. Israel and Iran are on the verge of war and bombing. And here in my area, last week, a guy pulled his two little boys into the house with him and set it on fire, killing them all. The world can be a very scary place. I wish, just for a moment, that everyone could step back and try to see things from another's point of view. It can be hard and scary (lordy knows I have issues with it). I wish that peace could prevail over greed and power. I wish that people would actually stand up and say, "I see what is going on and I won't tolerate it" instead of thinking there is nothing they can do and/or choosing to do nothing.
Hey wishcasters, who is on Pinterest? If you are, share your links. I can be found here. If you're not on Pinterest, I can send you an invite as it's fun and addictive.

" I wish, just for a moment, that everyone could step back and try to see things from another's point of view.” Yes, I wish for that, too.
When we can step back and see another’s point of view, we can learn, grow and heal.javascript:void(0)
As you wish for yourself (and the world), so I truly wish for you also.
I hope you feel better.
So heartful. I am looking forward to visiting all the Wishcasters as we stand together for our world...
THANK YOU so much for speaking up, even amidst your note feeling so great!
As you wish for yourself, so I wish for you (and us) also....
Here is my wish for the world...
"I see what is going on and I won't tolerate it." Such power in those words, if we all employ them.
As you wish for yourself, so I wish for you also.
Music to this activists' ears....
As you wish for yourself, I wish for you as well.
