Question #13:What is your Go Big wish this very moment?

Go Big or Wonder Why You Didn’t

There is a lot of cliché that accompanies a 50^th year milestone, and for me this marker is a birthday.  To date, the comment I hear most often is that I don’t look “that” old.  And to be honest, it’s not a surprising remark.  When my mom turned 50, I was 25, and from my perspective, that half-century mark didn’t seem so bad or look old to me.  

Since then, I’ve lived a few more years, added color to my landscape and now that I’m here, I agree there needs to be some kind of note-worthy embellishment to decorate this mile marker of life. 

So here is the question I’ll pose… just for fun.  “What would be your ‘Go Big’ wish this very moment?”  

The fun part is the spontaneity of this question.  Don’t take time to think about it, just let the answer tumble out and surprise you. 

Taking cues from childhood imagination, magical things become probable.  A horse and all the tack might be waiting outside for me right now.  I could snap my fingers and be anywhere I wished.  I would see fairies, and have lime green shoes, or I’d have a porch swing where I could practice guitar…(maybe I should wish for a guitar). 

I realize there is possible risk in answering this question where a sense of “rightness” can sneak in and ruin the bounce of the impossible.  I’m sure my Go Big answer of the moment may not be all that impressive to someone else.  But the magic isn’t found in outside approval; it’s from the heart-expanding smile that comes when you allow yourself to think your wish is really going to happen.  That smile is a great way to decorate any moment.

So I took a breath and allowed magic to flow freely, and the spontaneous wish that made me smile, was a private house concert with John Mayer, for family, friends and myself.   

Yeah, that would be a cool 50 year mile marker for me.
