...are “better than shoes”. That is, except for when you wish for shoes, then they are just “shoes”... I guess...
But, anyway, yes, wishes... wishes, very very very rarely do come true. Fact. So very rarely that it almost doesn’t even count. I mean, when was the last time you wished for something and it actually happened, hum? It usually rains when you wish it didn’t (and on your good hair day...) and those 2 kilos you put on during Christmas are still with you no matter how many times you wished you lost them and that text you wished for with all your heart never actually did come and if we are talking lottery, forget it, right?
Still... we keep on wishing... we wish upon a falling star (when the sky is clear enough to see it fall...), we make a wish every time we find an eyelash on our cheek and every year when we blow our birthday candles... why? Because... if we stop wishing, then what? If we stop dreaming, then what? A life without dreams, is it worth living? Our wishes, our dreams is what keeps us going when reality gets grim... which is ever so often... we wish because even for that tiny moment we make that wish, we feel such joy as if our wish had actually come true... and it’s worth it, even for that tiny moment! We wish because our wishes are a sort of compass that shows us where we want to go!
So, I say, dream big! No, dream huge! Do not be afraid to wish for the sun and the stars and the moon! Wish for everything your heart desires, don’t discount your yearnings, don't stop longing, don’t get trapped in reality, live in it but be ready to escape from it as often as you can! Wish for love, wish for friendship, wish for laughter, wish for health, wish for a better world, wish for the change you want to see and then be it!
And you never know... every once in a blue moon, wishes do come true 😉

Hope this weekend was a repeat for you. Hearing about the extreme weather in southern parts of EU. The dog days of summer have kept their distance from NY area so far...fingers crossed!

Hi dear, yes, it got really warm last week in our neighbourhood but nothing a Greek girl can’t handle! It’s sandals’ time and it’s “better than shoes”! 😉
