~Marejo's 2,000th Post Thread~
 

It is Mary Jo's 2,000th post and I thought it would be special to have a thread called 'Make A Wish'. She is always so supportive and wishes so much good for us all. Her shining personality and her caring thoughts are constantly for others, constantly. I think this thread would let us share some beautiful dreams we have for ourselves and maybe some secrets (smiling).

This would be a wish just for ourselves and not for others. The wish could be a dream or a silly thought but it has to be something we wish for ourself. I'll start

I wish that in my life I finally get to go to Italy. I know it will not be with my husband but I would go in honor of him. I want to eat the food and visit art and history. Maybe while eating my lunch the breeze will be just right and the aroma of grapes will fill the air. Or maybe in Venice I will find that perfect Murano glass vase that I dream about all the time. Hey, I could put Mommy's roses in it when I returned. The pictures I would take would win photo competitions and would consist of the pure beauty of Italy.The ultimate would be if I could visit the 'eastern entrance doors to the Baptistry of Florence Cathedral, by Lorenzo Ghiberti. He is Ed's Great-Great...Grandfather. I would stay all over Italy as I absorbed many of its wonders and finally have to force myself to go home. I am not sure if I would go alone, although I perfer it. The language barrier right now prevents it, so for the mean time I am still studying my Italian!! Well, atleast it keeps me out of trouble until I go, for now I dream and study til I make it reality. Here's to reaching for the stars!

Here's to you, Mary Jo! You're the greatest. Thanks for starting a great tribute, Marie. In keeping with the rules of the tribute, I always wished I could take a two week solo kayaking trip down a scenic river somewhere. I've done several days here and there, but never a great length. It takes about a day to get into "river time", but I always wanted to be out there for a few weeks, just paddling and fishing and really feeling it all at a different level.

Marie, my daughter just got back from Italy on Friday. I will e-mail you some pics when we get some. I always wanted to go surfing in Hawaii. We were actually planning a trip and then I found out I was stage 4 and have been too busy battling to take the trip. If I ever see ned it will be first on my list if we can afford it.

Great IDea...Congrats Marejo on #2000

I have always wanted to go to Hawaii...and enjoy the sand, the water and the palm trees...OK, maybe one dance in a grass skirt with the coconut top...(do they make single coconuts for mastectomy patients?)

thanks for being there marejo. and my wish is to meet jeff gordon!

Oh Marie.....a grass skirt, one coconut and a banana peel is conjuring up quite an image...makes Bill's acorn squash adventure look pale in comparison!

I wished all of my life that I had a sister to share life with.

Then I look around at my Her2 family and realize that my wish came true!!>>Believe51

i wish that my new grandbaby will be born healthy and the same blue eyes as the other 2, though the last isn't a must.

Thanks Marie for starting this thread and for your kind words. You are so sweet (as are all the rest of you) I didn't even realize I hit the 2000 mark. Geez, what a chatter box.

My wish is that I would always think of others more than I think of myself. That loving people would just be what comes naturally and that I would be a true servant in every sense of the word.

Hugs to my sisters and brothers.

Mary Jo

Mission accomplished then Mary Jo!!!!

........and your 2,000th mark provides the proof of just how supportive and loving you are!!>>Believe51

Right this minute......
....i wish I had a banana split.....with lots of thick choc, butterscotch and strawberry sauce (and I don't mean the bottle stuff...I mean like sauce from the Foodnetwork, from scratch) creamy ice cream. nice sweet bananas, and a cherry on top...

I wish I had a large greenhouse with an area for me to raise all the plants and flowers I would like, plus a tropical area with a pool and a water fall. I could hear the soothing sound of the waterfall all the time.

Sounds like I just need to move in with Harrie!

i wish the weather would stay like this 365 days a year.
