Thankful for Thankfulness: November 6

Whatever, whenever, what is your wish?

That's what I heard from the front desk attendant when I called last night for a wake-up call this morning. How often do you get to hear that in life?? I like it! With a question like that I felt I should think of something much more creative than, "may I please schedule a wake-up call for 6:00am?" But alas, I couldn't think of anything better on such short notice.

I'm staying at the W Hotel in mid-town Atlanta. Too pricey for me to ever stay at when my company is not picking up the tab, but if you ever have the chance, visit one. It's a very modern, very trendy hotel, truly a unique experience. The lobby is dimly lit like a night club. There are velvet couches with big pillows, a spa, two bars, more lounge areas... all the stuff that would have been SOOO cool when I was in my early 20's. Alas, here I am at 30-something, in my room, in front of my laptop, trying to catch up on emails instead of enjoying the hotel. But hey, it's still SOOO cool to have a young man ask, "Whatever, whenever, what is your wish?"

But guess what... it's not the hotel or the young man that I'm thankful for today, though both are very nice! Today, I'm thankful for wishing. And dreaming. And imagination. I'm thankful to live in a world where I can not only wish and dream and imagine, but where I have the power to make those wishes, dreams and imaginations come true.... not only for me, but hopefully, for those that I love and those I haven't met yet. 'Cause I think wishing and dreaming and imagining, and making wishes, dreams and imaginations come true is really SOOO cool. And for that, I am thankful.
