The Dandelion and a wish

It was time for school run and I was looking forward to seeing her beautiful face, sweet voice, and her charming smile,

‘Daddy look’ she said. “I’ve got you a present” she beamed brightly handing me this beautiful yet delicate flowery plant _the dandelion.

‘Oh! that’s lovely, very thoughtful of you, thank you!’ I said.

‘Make a wish before blowing the florets’, she replied.

In my mind I thought, what do I make a wish for?!

I couldn’t really think of anything specifically to wish for at that moment.

But I thought almost instantaneously, I am grateful to be alive and to have my family, being present and living. I feel healthy and happy.

Since that fateful afternoon, I have often wondered to myself, what do I really wish for? Also, what do people really wish for?

I do pray for good health and long life for me, my family and loved ones, to be happy and joyful, and to live a fulfilled life.

But is that really a wish?

Having what I do have in the present, which is my health, my loved ones, my good friends, my home, etc, do I really need to wish for anything else?

Maybe the extras like a luxury car, a dream house, a lofty bank balance, a holiday home, etc could be what to wish for, right?

On second thought, maybe I do have a wish. And that is for my family, friends and loved ones to have all that their heart desires and the same for you as well.

And maybe I do wish I did not leave it too long for about 3 years to post again on my website thus stunting my learning, development, and growth on this platform.

If you managed to have read to this point, I appreciate you for stopping by and I wish you well.
