bag o wishes + the box arrives

deluxe-ness. silly me. had a bag of mrs. vickie's today and there were a record number of wish chips. for those of you who don't know - a wish chip is folded in half. legend has it, when you find one of these rare oddities, it is like a chip genie appears and grants your wish. as kids, it was cause for celebration. who knew potatoe chips could be so much fun? junk food meets fortune telling.

the next cause for celebration, was the box. on my door step, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, audrey dropped off a box with my initials on it. inside, the stuff to create 12 artists trading cards by may 7. the challenge is set. time to create. the theme is circles. when i was a kid, from the moment i could doodle, i used to draw page upon page of circles. fitting. join the circle. wishes and circles, the stars are aligning. i have seen some improvement, on the health front small milestones but still, good news. keep cheering on the coach. a true cause for celebration, a reminder not to get discouraged and to keep focused, fight the good fight, hold the tears and grit the teeth with determination. yes.we.can.

its really great how littl things can ligthen our mind. a flower that opens her heart, a bird singing, a beautiful starry sky outside of town (up in the hills maybe) a rainbow, all this big little things are so good for our soul. they tell about love. when we're able to read the book of universe it opens our heart.
big warm hug

I was just educating my (now) 4 year old daughter about this most miraculous potato chip phenomena yesterday.
We count chips with bubbles as wishes too.
(as to avoid disappointment if you end up with a fold-less chip bag)

Next time I find a folded chip I'll make a wish that your health improves soon.
