Day 10: I'll bet a lot of you folks don't believe that... about a wish coming true. Do you?-- Jiminy Cricket


 I'll bet a lot of you folks don't believe that... about a wish coming true. Do you?-- Jiminy Cricket

This question is posed at the start of the film just after the iconic "When You Wish Upon a Star" song. 

Have you ever made a wish? Was it out loud or just to yourself inside your heart? Was it on a birthday candle or maybe on a star? Was your wish something small, like say the light changes at a stoplight or getting a good parking spot? Perhaps it was something larger, like for a new sibling or maybe better job, or the love of your life to just fall in your lap and he or she be just perfect from the get-go. Did your wish come true or are you still waiting for it to  happen?

Wishes don't always come true for whatever reason. Yet there are always smaller little ones that seem to happen more often than not, like all the lights being green while you're driving, getting that prime parking spot when you need it, getting graded on a curve in school, or my personal childhood favorite going to lunch early or movie day in class. While we don't always think that wishes don't come true, they do when we least expect it. Sometimes when they're not granted in the way that we hope, they will be usually for the best. Sometimes when they're not granted at all, that also is for the best, though we may not like it. Yet we should never give up wishing, for that means we have the hope for something to happen. If you fall in the non-wishing crowd that's okay too, because it takes all kinds of people to make life work.

So until next time don't be afraid to wish on a star and as always Keep Cooking With Character!
