THOUGHTFUL THURSDAYS

Thoughtful Thursdays are designed to take us away to a more gentle, peaceful place in our minds and hearts.

To virtually fondle the muscles in the back of our tired neck ever so softly,

 and massage our aching feet with exquisite perfection .

I Wish I Knew

I wish I knew if my dog Fluffy will meet me in heaven when I arrive.

I wish I knew how to really overcome my shyness, and not just pretend.

I wish I knew how to survive in the wilderness.

I wish I knew the names of all different kinds of trees, birds, and flowers.

I wish I knew why some people don't like me from our first meeting.

I wish I knew how to play the piano.

I wish I knew how to fly an airplane.

I wish I knew how to comfort people at a funeral.

I wish I knew how to never say the wrong thing.

I wish I knew how to teach my granddaughters everything they need to know for a happy life.

I wish I knew how to keep Benji (our Yorkie) from barking at everyone that walks down the sidewalk.

I wish I knew how to use a sewing machine to hem my pants. (I have extra short legs)

I wish I knew the cure for my granddaughter Breanna, who has C.F.,  and her sister who suffers from autism.

I wish I knew how to love as unconditionally as my wife Donna.

I wish I knew how my friend Greg Batton has developed such a kind, loving heart that is beyond my understanding.

I wish I knew how my friend from Norway, Sara Marie , has developed such a sweet, beautiful, honest, gregarious personality that is so attractive to everyone.

I wish I knew if I'll ever be able to meet Sara-Marie, Cheryl M.,

Jay, Dan Tulloh, Yoz , Richie Havens, and Joni Mitchell. (That would be a dream come true)

I wish I knew how many minds and hearts I've reached with my songs, blog, and little jingles I've written for the radio.

I wish I knew if the Lord will answer every question I've ever wondered about when I meet him. I hope so, I'm so curious!
