If you could have one wish what would it be? It has to be a personal wish, not something like, "World Peace", etc. It has to be something that involves you and is not light, but the thing that keeps you awake at night. What would be your wish?

I realize not all can put their wishes in words, but I thought I would give everyone a chance to share.

My wish would be that my relationship with one of my family be resolved into a good, healthy one, even if it meant I had to go back in time and live through the abuse again to accomplish it. I have no way of fixing it, although I have tried everything I can think to do. My heart breaks anew every day that there is no word from him.

So, that is my heart's greatest desire. What is yours?

Jan

My one wish would be that neither of my children will have to suffer in their lives like I have suffered in mine.

My one wish would be that my daughter would find the peace within her that she is seeking. It is difficult for me to sit and watch her struggle everyday with life.

My one wish would be that my mom, dad, and sister (I guess I can include myself too if we're wishing If You Could Have One Wish) would finally be able to live in peace and be truly happy. They've all had such a rough life and they all deserve it so much.

Hmm - If You Could Have One Wish If You Could Have One Wish If You Could Have One Wish

I am not for sure on this one.... for I know I would not be the person I am today with out having gone through some of the pain and wounds I suffered through.

.... SO if any thing I guess I would have to wish that my life was just as it is now (was meant to be), but that I had waited until I was a little bit older before I brought children into this world so I could have gone to college, and had a part time career - mixed between being mommy and employee.

Can I have two?

I wish for my son to be happy at school and to succeed, or at the very least - cope!

I wish my weight loss journey was not such a very hard struggle.

I was thinking about this thread and realised I had no right to ask for two. So I retract my wish about my weight loss as though this consumes me it is more superficial than what my son is going through. My one wish will be for my son.

Okay, if we are limited to one wish--I am going to wish that my parents be happy. This is my way of sneaking in more than one wish because for that to happen my mom would have to get off her addiction to morphine and my dad would have to recover from clinical depression.

I know I am out of wishes, but if I had one for myself it would be to love myself.

I wish I didn't have MS so that I could still be a member of the work force so that I didn't constantly stress about money.

To rid myself of the mental health issues that have plagued me far too long. In regards to one particularly disturbing problem (OCD), it has been and still continues to be a monstrous wrecking ball and chain that I haul around daily. I wish for FREEDOM from this!

I wish for an income of $1,000 a week. Because almost all my worries stem from not being able to provide for myself, not being able to get jobs, getting jobs where I work really hard. I would be able to heave a great sigh of relief, take care of my health (physical, psychological, spiritual); I hope I would volunteer to give back to the community and get out into the world, because the thing I do best in engagement with others is work.

I would have the financial means to leave an apartment where I am not allowed to have dogs, and have dogs in my life again, which would mean so much. And since I train, I would be involved in a dog club and with other people with the same interest.

For me, mercenary, materialistic, and superficial as it may seem, having enough money to cover all my needs, to share and to spare, is the single greatest gift that would bring me peace of mind, emotional stability, and self-esteem.

I totally agree Wants2. Its amazing how much stress the lack of money causes. And I understand about it not being in a superficial way. Just stressing about where the next plate of food is coming from. Thats another wish, to always have food. But I guess I always manage to find food. So maybe thats not a wish.

Well, mine is also rather global, but it is a personal wish: that Christ would return right now! I want out legitimately. If You Could Have One Wish

It's a package wish - I don't know how to express it as it is a way of being or living for myself where I am happy and have a positive influence on others - I guess to know and fulfill my potential or purpose.
