Day 31: Wish upon a star

Those who grew up with the tales of Mother Goose will be familiar with wishing upon a star. It can be supposed that because the stars are so beyond our reach that making a wish upon them can put our own intangible dreams into reality.

More often than not a wish upon a star resulted in nothing ever happening. However it is not the granting of the wish that this task is the subject of. Making a wish allows us to put our dreams and hopes into perspective. Are they feasible? Or are our dreams so far out there that we need to bring it closer and find what we would be happy with. Whatever the wish is the goal remains the same. Remind yourself what you want and learn what you will settle for.
