It’s Wishcasting Wednesday at Jamie Ridler Studios and we’re encouraged to wish for a treat.
Oh, how can this be? I’ve been ruminating on this one for hours and I cannot think of a treat to wish for. How do you define treat? To my mind it’s something reasonably small but a bit luxurious and out of the every day run of things. And by virtue of having to wish for it, something you can’t easily get for yourself. But what?
Food? Nah, nothing that takes my fancy. A nice pedicure? Nah, don’t like people touching my feet. Listen to some music? Well OK, but I can do that any time, it’s not a treat. Revel in a trashy TV program? All I need to do is go flip the on switch. Read the latest Patricia Cornwell? I am.
OK, the treat I wish for is not to feel so jaded about everything and regain that childlike specialness that sees almost everything as a treat.

As Tess wishes so I too wish for her.
I recommend hanging out with a puppy & having a lollipop. That always helps me!

As Tess wishes for herself, so I wish for her also.
I had a hard time with my treat today, took, so it’s a big one and maybe not totally treat-like, but definitely something I am wishing for!

Thank you all for these lovely comments. I don’t always manage to do the Wednesday Wishcasts, but when I do it’s always special.

I was hours from death on Monday night due to an infected blister and a chronic condition called primary lymphedema which compromises my ability to fight infection. Thanks to massive doses of antibiotics, I’m much better, and everything seems beautiful and ever so wonderful. Perspective; it really is all about vantage point. I’ll try and remember this moment the next time I feel somewhat jaded and tired.

Diana, wow, this is a great lesson for me to remember as well. Thank you.
