Today I am grateful for recycled wishes. Whether it comes in the form of an audible anticipation as I pry open the plastic bin filled with “brand new” hand-me-downs, or fashioned from the half-eaten popsicle they decided was just the right size for three, my kiddos constantly remind me that the “joys of new” can be powered by perspective. Today I am thankful for the squeals of delight I was shared as they slipped into last year’s Easter dresses, just to smother them with wrinkles to fill with the effects of a filthy fountain, as they “borrowed” pennies for just one more wish. Because they remind of what is really worth wishing for.
