What is something you wish you had...

This newspaper's question caught my attention because of the amazing contrast. I understand the first two requests quite well, but how petty they suddenly seem when you read the third one. It's funny how our priorities change when you look at them through different eyes.

Is it frivolous to just wish for a job for my husband that has health care benefits? I would be ok if it wasn't millions and millions of dollars, too. =-)

Wow. What a contrast.

Lori - you're asking for a job so you guys can keep your house and pay medical expenses and send your kids to school. That's somewhere in-between "a yacht" and "parents". :-)

Oh I realize it's not on the same magnitude as wishing for "parents". I was injecting humor and honesty. I could certainly wish for something of more substance.

But right now, it would be nice to have a job to pay the bills.
