I Wish
Author: ChinThere are many things I wish for still – good health, knowing that my loved ones are happy and safe, the perfect mix of sunshine and rain, orlando fl resort vouchers for the family, the ability to teleport, laughter when it’s needed the most, and enough grace to be generous when it’s toughest and compassionate in silence. Sometimes, I also wish I’m a little taller if only because it’s more commanding to be tall, and I’m not at all sure I like being mistaken for my daughter’s sister.
But, of course, those are rather tall orders. Today, I’ll keep my wishing small, and wish
1) that more people will help the victims of Ondoy short-term; and in the rebuilding of the country, long-term.
2) for Alex to be pneumonia-free for the rest of the year.
And, if the universe would deem those wishes too small for my quota of “please come true” thoughts, then maybe I could toss this teensy wish too: may I please have a house someday with a view like this?

Where magic is par for the course
Hi! My name is Chin, and this is where, to quote Jane Austen, I "run mad and as often as I choose."
