Wishcasting Wednesday: Renewal and Grace



When I was a little girl, I wished on stars all the time.  Lying in bed, looking out my window... sometimes lying in the grass outside on a summer night just as the stars were first blinking.  I wish I may, I wish I might...  It was fantastic and hopeful and sent me to sleep with a new excitement for the next day. 

As grown-up girl, I find I still wish on stars... but as an afterthought.  Isn't that sad?  I was such a happy kid.  In recent years, I have increasingly yearned to be that person again.  Knowing that my life was much easier when I was that little girl and wishing again for a way to get back to that place of more hopeful thought, a  Wishcasting Wednesday post from Jamie Ridler Studios caught my eye. 

So beginning this week, I am casting my wishes upon the waters.  They will come true... they always do...  I just have to make sure that I have the courage to wish them in the first place.

This week I am wishing for a renewal of spirit and a measure of grace.  That's a good start, don't you think?
