Wish

When I was a kid, I used to put change in every fountain and wishing well. Mostly, I wished for siblings. I wanted a bigger family because it was just my mom and I in New Orleans. My uncles and cousins were all in Huntsville and Chicago mostly. God has a sense of humor. On Saturday, I attended my father's funeral. Let's just say that every prayer and wish came true. I met siblings, nephews, nieces, and cousins from far and wide. There were old heads who had heard about his daughter in Atlanta. There were lots of big eyes, side eyes and smiling faces. Mostly smiling faces though. I walked into a room full of strangers and left with more family than I can count. Now, I know wishes come true.

Reset

Don’t you wish you could go back and press the reset button on certain moments in your life? Kinda like a do-over. Not really regret, but I could have made a better decision. Well, maybe its just me. I definitely feel that way. Maybe I spoke too soon or I moved too fast. I definitely have a few of those situations. We can’t change the past, but we can learn from it. We can choose to do things differently. We can reset our path every time we change our mind. Everyday is a new day to get it right. Every moment is an opportunity to reset.
