I follow Jamie Ridler's blog on a weekly basis. I have been reading Wishcasting Wednesday for a month now but never participated until today. Each Wednesday, Jamie posts a question or a prompt on her blog and her readers write the answers to her question on their blog.

Jamie asks this week, "What do you give yourself permission for?"

So, I, Anna, wish myself to give permission to:

Write with an open heart about my own life experiences without censoring myself.

Do whatever makes ME happy.

Do nothing on my days off.

Not do the housework and let the dust settle and the laundry pile up for some much needed "ME" time.

I always feel that I do not have time to do what matters to me the most because of work commitments, household chores, errands, weekend travel, and other life matters. I have a to-do list of fun things that never seems to get crossed off.  For awhile, I long to read a book for the entire day, write, or to do something creative.  I give myself permission to do what makes me happy.
