<strong>Hometown</strong>-<strong>Clinton</strong>-Magazine<br />
Anyone ever heard of a wishing jar where<br />
you can write down your wishes, deposit them<br />
in a jar and retrieve them later to find they each<br />
came true? I haven’t either, but I have a few<br />
wishes I would include:<br />
1. I’d wish for all returning school teachers<br />
to have a year’s supply of patience,<br />
energy and students anxious to learn.<br />
2. I’d wish for the August heat to break<br />
records in low temps instead of highs.<br />
3. I’d wish for the upcoming election to<br />
bring out the best in our nation and<br />
not the worst.<br />
4. I’d wish for an easy transition for all<br />
kindergarten students—and hope<br />
for us mothers having to deliver our<br />
babies to college.<br />
5. I’d wish for one more mini-weekend<br />
vacation before the summer ends.<br />
6. I’d wish for blessings and continued<br />
safety in our peaceful hometown.<br />
And while I know wishes don’t always<br />
come true, positive thoughts can certainly<br />
enhance any environment. We at <strong>Hometown</strong><br />
Magazines work hard to make our publications<br />
a positive addition to our town and are continually<br />
grateful for the support of both our readers<br />
and our advertisers. My wish for you would be<br />
for healthy families, robust business and continued<br />
favor from the One that holds us all.<br />
You are loved<br />
and welcome!<br />
We will save a<br />
seat for you. . .<br />
