Wishful Thinking

I have been called clever more than once, but how I long to be considered wise.

And while I am indulging in wishful thinking, I also wish I was a bigger person.  A friend received good news today, and instead of just being glad for her, I immediately began worrying about how it would affect me.  As if her decision wasn't a good one, or had anything to do with me.

Truly wishful thinking would be for everyone to get what they want, and no one to get hurt or do without.

Realistically, I probably could work on being less selfish.
