I am writing this round-up post a little earlier this week. I'm writing it now because I can't believe how many of us are frightened of wishing. When did we learn that it wasn't okay to want things? When did we learn that wanting something just for ourselves was a bad thing? Some of you don't believe in wishes. Some of you said you didn't believe in wishes - but then you wished! Some of you (like me) were worried about the consequences of wishing. It was a much scarier prompt than I initially thought. Some of your wishes were heart-warming, some of them were heart-breaking, but all of them were heart-felt. I just loved reading your words.
But I would like to make a suggestion for another special bit of writing. This is a suggestion for you if you like. (This is not for Sunday Scribblings, this is just for you!) I would like to suggest that you really think about what your three wishes would be if you were sure that they would come true, if you were sure that the only consequences would be good ones, and if you were told that they had to be just for you - no more wishing for world peace. What would your deepest, sincerest, most selfish wishes be? What do you WANT? It is completely safe to want things in your heart. Don't tell us what your wishes are: this is just a bit of post-Sunday homework that you don't have to hand in.
Whether or not you choose to do this, thank you so much for sharing with us again this week.
I need to answer some questions that have been asked:
1. About buttons: We don't have the code to give you the button. People have been clever and created their own without our (technically challenged) help. So we can't give it to you yet, I'm sorry!
2. We will try very hard to post the prompts on Friday night or Saturday morning so that you'll have time to do the writing by Sunday. (And thank you everyone for your helpful comments, we'll keep you all posted on what if any changes we will make!)
See you next week!!
