I wish that I wasn't such a worrier. I wish that I wasn't worried about my city income tax return. I wish I wasn't worried about the visa application. I wish I wasn't worried about my health, or Dave's health. I wish I wasn't worried about my finances. I wish I wasn't worried about the wedding, and the details regarding the wedding.

I wish my apartment was clean. I'll clean a section, and then another, and another and another, and by the time I get back to where I started it's cluttered and dirty again.

I wish I was totally confident about the future, and what it holds for me.

I wish that I wrote more. I wish that I had the motivation and the talent to churn out story after story. I wish I was productive and successful.

I wish that I had done something productive today.

I wish that the summer hadn't flown by so fast. I wish I had more time to savor the warm Ohio sun. I wish that I'd gone swimming, or canoeing. I wish that the last dregs of summer will cling to the land like glue.

I wish that time would go faster. I wish that March were here now.

I wish my living room didn't smell like a lavender-coated microwave popcorn bag filled with potpourri.

I wish Dave was here.
