Wishcasting Wednesday: Holiday Season
Posted on | December 23, 2009 | 13 Comments
Jaime over at Jamie Ridler Studios asks:
What do you wish for this holiday season?
I have two wishes that may seem contradictory. I wish for some peace and quiet, time at home, time to nest, time to sleep in and dream. I also wish for my home to be a place of community and family, a place where our chosen family feels welcomed, loved, and at ease.
We have a huge house in Baltimore that we just moved into at the beginning of September. We are just the two of us and four cats; no children. My blood family lives in Florida and Oklahoma. His blood family lives on the Eastern Shore and on the other side of town, but his parents’ house is the meeting place. Most of my chosen family lives in DC and its suburbs.
I am an introvert who wants family around her during this time of year. I imagine folks bringing a bottle of wine and some cheese and together we fix a meal, and we all gather around the kitchen island, laughing and talking.
I wish for this long weekend to be a mix of alone time and together time.

I understand..I love my peace and quiet. I have a house full of childcare kids every day and their parents stop to visit when they pick up..I love that I do.. But I want family too..to just pop by and have a cup of coffee. May someone surprise you with a warm visit!
Namaste, Sarah

Angela, your wishes are contradictory at all. Sometimes we need quiet – other times we need merriment and festivities. This all sounds good to me!
As you wish for yourself, so I also wish for you.
Peace and love in 2010.

Darn – just because my M key is sticking doesn’t mean I can’t type at all – or does it?
What I meant to say was that your wishes are NOT contradictory! There!
