@ Elizabeth – Yay, I am so glad you commented! Thanks so much for checking out my blog and reading it with such great depth. Wishes can definitely be powerful and they should not be wasted on petty things. I love those six words. That is a friggin good wish Maybe if we can get enough people to wish for that exact same thing, it will come true. Let’s start a movement! Love ya Liz, thanks for stopping by!

Brother!! I’ve been reading from the beginning of your posts back up to the present, and as of today I’m a little less than a week behind. Yay! I’m getting there! But I just had to stop and comment on this particular topic because I think wishes are powerful. When we have everything imaginable to choose from for a wish, what do we actually select? I have to say that I agree 100% with Julia’s comment. It’s all about happiness. I don’t know when it began, but for as far back as I can remember, every time I’ve wished on birthday candles or a shooting star or anything else I think is meaningful, my wish has always been the same six words – “I wish for happiness for everyone” Uh-oh, now that it’s not a secret, I hope it still comes true!!

Love you brother!!

I get pieces of cake here and there; she’s just worried that if I get a cake on my birthday that I’ll lose my mind and eat way too much. She’s probably right.

@ Julia – Thank you for all your comments lately. I love hearing from you! Thank you for the birthday wishes as well. Happiness is a wonderful wish. I hope it comes to you everyday, not just on your birthday.

@ Maya – Thanks for the comment! Those are all very important things to wish for. I hope they come to you.

@ AndySan – Nice new Gravatar, love the guitar! Expressing creativity is a very worthy wish. Vent all you like, I am all ears! I am sorry that things are not going well with your offline relationships. Online relationships can be amazing… but they can only go so far. I hope you can find a balance between the two and maybe make some new friends offline. It is so hard once everyone goes their separate ways after school… I miss my old friends a lot.

In the meantime, you can always be friends with me online! Just send me an e-mail if you ever want to talk. Take care!

@ Stephen – Thanks for checking out Simple Sapien. Good luck with your physical goals and finding joy in your life. I know you can have both! I just subscribed to your blog, liking it so far.

@ Lance – That is what your kids want now, but I am sure in time their wishes will change. Those are all valid wishes. Motivation is a biggy for me! Ok ok, and those specialty beers

@ Isabel – Those are good items to have for sure. Music is a powerful thing and if that is what you need to get through the day, then do it! Thanks for checking out my blog.

@ Mitch – Mmm cake, everyone deserves cake on their birthday. Even the diabetics! I am sorry that gets in the way sometimes.
