One Wish

It's been unseasonably warm here in the South. In fact we spotted a dandelion in bloom and another in need of a little holiday wishing this past weekend. From the looks of my girl's letters (yes, that's plural) to Santa this year, I've got a good idea of what's on her mind at this moment. But what about you? What if you could make just one wish this holiday season? Would it be something small and simple? Or would you look to the stars and whisper a wish so big that you're almost too fearful to help make it come true?

What would you wish?

Sharing your wish in the comments makes you eligible to win two gifts today because every sister needs a little extra love on Monday. The snap happy folks at Snaptotes are giving away one picture-perfect handbag with your image of choice. And Shutter Sister Stephanie Roberts is giving away a hardcover book of her photographic images titled Come Closer – a look at hidden beauty found in close range.

Congrats to Lauren who won the image from the Etsy shop of Sweet Blue Photography.

I would wish to be able to do photography full time. That's my dream!

Oh, and for my niece to get out of the NICU, so I can hold her and spoil her like crazy.

I wish for a baby - an uneventful pregnancy and a sweet, healthy newborn in nine months. I so miss the little boy we lost mid-pregnancy this year and long to hold a baby of my own.

I wish I could grant all these awesome wishes - the ones already posted and the ones yet to come... and I wish for contentment and grace...

[Suvarna]

I wish for my husband to come safely home from Northern BC and for the world to be more tolerant of difference.

[lizzy]

right now i wish that my mom & the baby she is carrying in her womb will be healthy. she had two miscarriages that were terribly dangerous to her health and i'm scared it will be the same this time.

[Shawna]

Well I got the snow that I wished for, so I suppose now I'm just wishing that I can keep my life in perspective and remember that the beauty is always there, but much more visible when I take a step back and just breathe it in.

We're only a few wishes in, and already they're making me cry. I hope they all come true.

[anna]

One of my wishes will likely be granted - a white Christmas here on the west coast (we don't get them often). My other wish is that the upcoming year won't be as difficult as this past one - a fresh new year with fresh new beginnings.

[Emily]

I'd wish for some cozy family time. A quiet house with everything picked up so we can be creative, watch shows and drink hot chocolate.

[Francine]

my wish this year is for a healthy baby boy in April :)

[Chris]

My wish is for everyone else's wishes here to come true!

[Marcie]

A wish for new beginnings.

I wish that all would know my Jesus. And i really want to be married. It has been a hope deferred for a long time.

[Hay]

i wish....i could think of just the right wish.

[Vanessa]

my son has asked Santa to bring snow... but with the temperatures getting strangely mild around here, I don't think that's going to happen. still, that doesn't stop me from wishing right along with him :)

[kosenrufu mama]

i wish a wonderful life with my family....

[Clare]

I wish for perfect health.

I wish for our long-held dreams for a child to come true-- either by birth or adoption-- very soon.

Today's dandelion,
a thousand wishes
on a stem,
a new song for today.

[Katie Malone-Smith]

I wish for a happy & healthy 2009

[Heidi D]

I wish to be able to lose 95 lbs in 2009. And to regain my health and balance my hormones. (Although I guess they're all kind of one thing.)

[Jennifer]

After reading the wishes above, mine seem so silly.
So, I echo Chris and Shawna and wish for your wishes to come true.

[Stephanie]

This year I wish for my family to find peace with their personal issues, thrive with the changes they have been given, and be thankful for what we have.

[Puna]

I wish my sister would miraculously recover from ALS.
