Random thoughts from a one track mind

For the Record

Going back to the post from November 28...I just want to update things. It left and came back and now it seems to have receeded back to the new normal again. So I'm recording it here, for the record. I will update as necessary, just in case it's not the new normal just yet...

Tossin' wishes in a fountain

So I was at Hazeldean mall tonight with A, and he loves looking in the fountains there. He's just fascenated by the water. I don't mind, since I like the water too. Guess it's all the water signs I have in my chart ;-) There's a habit we've gotten into that I give him change to throw in the fountain. It's gotten to be such a habit that he now asks for "change to make a wish".

Tonight, he asked for his change to make a wish, and I gave him a penny. He just likes throwing the coins in to watch the splash, so I always make a wish before I give it to him to throw. It's always the same wish, the one I wish upon stars, in fountains, over birthday cakes -- basically any of your usual wishing type situations. Tonight I wished on my penny, handed it to A and let him throw. It was as he was tossing it that I realized what song was playing on the mall music. It was Daniel Beddingfield, If You're Not the One. It had started while I was wishing on my coin.

Coincidence? I don't think so. In light of the day's other events, I really don't think so. Maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part...but I don't think so there either.

And though I can't be with you tonight
You know my heart is by your side

Always...
