Hay Trucks are for Wishing

When I was very little my mother told me, "Hay trucks are for making wishes. If you see one, make a wish and don't look back!"

I believed her, and ever since then hay trucks have been as exciting as birthday candles to me. (they've been a mystery ever since too, because I don't think I've ever seen the back of a hay truck...)

Well, the other day I was on my way to work and I saw a hay truck. Yay! I started to make a wish....

and.... I drew a blank! I couldn't think of a single thing I wanted to wish for.

I never thought there would be a time when I would run out of wishes. What does this mean!?

It could mean "She's too apathetic - she's not driven or motivated, or she would have wishes."

I have dreams. I have goals. I have plans. But hay trucks are for WISHES, I just don't have those.

Maybe living in a 3rd world country for a while made me run out of wishes. Maybe being married to a husband who turned out to be more amazing than I could have ever imagined - maybe he's the culprit. Maybe it's my new goal to meditate and ponder more (that's definitely stemmed this post at least!)
Whatever the reason, it would appear that I'm completely satisfied and at peace with my lot in life.

When we were dating, Nate's sister gave him this quote:

"Love is when you don't want to sleep because reality is better than your dreams."

I guess it's time to re-write that quote:

"Love is when hay trucks are obsolete because your life is so full, you don't even need wishes!"

It's not as charming, and probably won't end up on lovequotes.com, but I think it's my new motto.

I ended up turning around and finally looking at the back of the hay truck, contented to let my chance to wish pass by.
