a new year's wish on a planet

since i was a little kid, i've wished on first stars, birthday candles, hay trucks, turkey wishbones and all manner of traditional and not-so-traditional objects. and although i know this is jupiter, not the-first-star-i-see-tonight, i instinctively began a wish on it when i spotted it bright and shiny in the sky this new year's evening.

my wish for you this new year is days of wonder and awe, of laughter and joy, and of just enough of what you need to keep life as good as it is. happy new year!

love, chris

I was just out in the 3 degree weather to gaze at the stars. I have always wished on the star..and I don't care whether it is a planet or not!!!! I can't seem to get enough of stars.

Planet or Star, I'll always believe in the power of that first wish. :)
