I saw Alice in Wonderland this past weekend and just loved it. I decided I rather fancy the idea of thinking of 6 impossible things before breakfast. It doesn’t have to be before breakfast though it could be before bed. I do love having vivid dreams and I go to some pretty outlandish and beautiful places in my dreams. Why not create more of that? Of course, I could also think of 6 lovely things before breakfast or bed. Here’s my list today of 6 impossible things before breakfast:
1. everybody gets their own make-a-wish fairy. You get three wishes per lifetime ’cause too many and it would get boring but only three and you’d have to be really thoughtful and selective.
2. cloudy skies will now have pull back tabs that you can reach up, pull back the tabs to reveal sunny blue skies (I know Pacific Northwester’s love that one!)
3. blink and twitch my nose and the housework gets done, laundry folded and it floats down hallways into rooms, opens drawers and puts itself away
4. My summer home is a castle floating in the air and each day we have tea and marvelous cakes with some famous guest from any time in history. I’ll start with Einstein on Monday, Marilyn Monroe on Tuesday, Abraham Lincoln on Wednesday, Christopher Columbus on Thursday, Jesus on Friday, Rumi on Saturday and the Tooth Fairy on Sunday.
5. It’s 3010, I’ve got the wisdom of all ages and I’m in a 25 year old body and I teach the keys to happiness and inspire the whole world.
6. Lastly, I am a small gold coin in Martin Luther King’s pocket. He slips his hand into his pocket and fingers my cool, smooth gold coin-ness while giving his speech “I have a dream…”
Yes, Martin Luther King, I have a dream too, that life is first about dreaming and building castles in the air and last about really believing in them. Everything starts out first as a vision, a dream and then stay true to it in your heart and just watch how it Becomes.
See you all in 3010. I’ll be the one accepting the Nobel Prize for finding the Keys to Happiness and I’ll give you all the scoop that the Tooth Fairy let me in on. Oh, the stories she did tell!
This post is dedicated to all of you out there who’ve never lost your sense of wonder.

Love this bethie…I’d really like to be able to do number 3 too! and also to come to lunch on Monday and Saturday :-)
Whaddya mean Sis?! All family was there. Remember when Einstein said he wished he had doubted himself less and Rumi brought red wine to the tea party and we all put a splash of it in our tea cups?! :) xo
ah…yes I think i remember the red wine….or was it really strawberry vodka??;-)
ha, ha, very funny! We saved the strawberry vodka for MM, it really loosened her up and Jesus loved the Dunkin Donuts Hazelnut coffee. All that dying and resurrecting and re-living it every dang Easter, took a toll on his energy level! (It’s my new favorite coffee, btw.)
I knew jesus would be a DD Hazelnut fan…it really is divine….glad you like it too!
:)

Thank you for sharing your wonderful blog. I am enjoying your posts…
Wouldn’t that be wonderful?! if I could just visit the combustion point where talented writer, Maryellen, meets and translates onto paper her Vivid Imagination, I’d have the formula for great entertainment as well as Success!!
