One Wish

It's been unseasonably warm here in the South. In fact we spotted a dandelion in bloom and another in need of a little holiday wishing this past weekend. From the looks of my girl's letters (yes, that's plural) to Santa this year, I've got a good idea of what's on her mind at this moment. But what about you? What if you could make just one wish this holiday season? Would it be something small and simple? Or would you look to the stars and whisper a wish so big that you're almost too fearful to help make it come true?

What would you wish?

Sharing your wish in the comments makes you eligible to win two gifts today because every sister needs a little extra love on Monday. The snap happy folks at Snaptotes are giving away one picture-perfect handbag with your image of choice. And Shutter Sister Stephanie Roberts is giving away a hardcover book of her photographic images titled Come Closer – a look at hidden beauty found in close range.

Congrats to Lauren who won the image from the Etsy shop of Sweet Blue Photography.

I would wish that my ailing 13 year old Siberian Husky was 2 again, so I'd have another wonderful decade of her in my world. =) My son rightly describes her as happiness on 4 legs.

My wish would be to not be unemployed.

[Cheryl]

I wish for a good new year.

[Kyla]

What a lovely post and a beautiful photo!

I would have to say that my one little wish would be seeing my family grow in Christ. There was no greater gift given than God's own Son.

[Cary]

I wish for time to get my house finally organized.

[Kelley]

I wish for continued health and happiness for everyone.

[Kristin]

I wish that people would care more about the environment and realize that it's their children's future they're destroying.

[michelle]

i wish for peace.

[Maggie]

I would wish that everyone had the opportunity to feel even just a moment of peace and contentment during the holiday season.

[Charlane]

there are so many wishes I would wish but for now - I wish the economy improves quickly and my prayers are with the new administration as they come and face the crisis the US has immediately. More people have lost their jobs this year than I ever imagined.

[raina]

What a wonderful giveaway, both book and bag. This has been an incredible month at Shutter Sisters.

[victoria winters]

Oh please, please choose me. Life has been unkind lately and this would be a god send.

[leaca]

After reading the second comment I wish for June's husband to come home too. Actually I wish for all our soldiers to make it home safely.

[Angie]

I echo Erin's - debt free wish, and wish I could give more...money and time.

[sarai]

I'm wishing for peace--at home and far away.

[Jessica]

My first baby is due next Monday, so I'm wishing for a safe and uncomplicated delivery, and that we'll both be healthy and happy afterward. :)

[Lauren]

THANK YOU!!! I am exciting to get a print from Sandra!!! (and no, I am not posting for another drawing today - one is enough, share the wealth! :))

[Pamala]

I wish there was a cure for the disorder that my daughter and I have and that she would grow up without this problem and not have to worry about it as an adult.

[Jodyangel]

My wish is big. And seemingly unatainable. My wish would be for family unity. For my daughter to accept my husband. For my parents to do the same...

But when I look at some of the above wishes; mine seems much less important. So for now, let me wish you all a Very Merry Christmas!

[Karen]

I wish for a cure for my neighbor.

[Sharon]

I wish for a little peace for everyone.

[William]

I wish that I was as clever as my wife!

[sandi]

I would wish to feel "normal" and not have so much pain on the inside.
and I would wish that no one else would ever have to feel this pain.

[Diane]

Oh my, I started to read other people's wishes -- for healthy babies, cures for illness, husbands home safe -- oh my. I hope all their wishes come true.

[Sherry]

I wish I'd live each day as a child does - believing that wishes and dreams come true.

[Michelle]

My wish would be for my kids to stay happy & healthy.

What a great post and gift!

[Gayle]

I wish for health and happiness for my family.

[Lisa]

I wish that the new pregnancy I'm sharing with close family today makes it all the way to a healthy, happy baby.

[Kim]

I wish to enjoy all the small moments this season and not be thinking of all the tasks.

[Dawn]

I wish to be able to keep my home and to have the ability to buy fuel oil to heat it!

[AppleTree]

I wish for health and happiness and a way to pay for my husband to go back to college.

[Gail]

A serious wish....I wish for my sister to be cancer free...

My wish this Christmas is that the entire world would celebrate the TRUE meaning of Christmas.

[Kelly]

One wish
to share with you all
One secret dream
to give away.
One wish to wish
that others can know
the beauty
that is my God
because I have somehow
captured
His Love
In my lens.

Wow! This is post and these amazing wishes warmed me and gave me goosebumps all at the same time. I'm wishing for my husband's vasectomy reversal surgery on the 2nd to be successful so we can start growing our family. May all our wishes come true!

[Annie]

there are so many things i would wish, but the one that would sing loud above the others is that my dream of being able to quit my full-time office job and finally pursue my passion of photography would happen soon. i know that many people have gone before me to stare their dream in the face and sacrifice everything to get it. i want my dream. i would love to throw everything by the wayside, lean on faith, take the HUGE leap of uncertainty, and jump all in (and possibly pee my pants on the way down...)

[megan]

i wish to find the courage to take the next step, instead on standing on the edge and wishing...

[Sham]

I wish for happiness.

[Véronique]

I wish for peace and harmony to all the beings on this earth.

[Janine]

I wish for my father to be comfortable in his battle with cancer.

[Jessica]

I wish for the New Year to bring open doors and peaceful times to my family.

ANd a move to Portland would be great too!

[sammie]

i wish fro inner peace
