Birthday Gifts

I have a birthday coming up in April, and I've been thinking about what presents I would like. Most of them are intangible and impossible. But here's a list, in case anyone is curious:
  • I'd like my mother back. She died in April 2008, and I miss her every day.
  • I'd like our government to get their act together and start taking steps to fix our economy, stop offering handouts to every beggar on the street, and start promoting the traditions of hard work and values that made this country great at the beginning.
  • I'd like health and happiness for my family and all the people I love.
  • I'd like a babysitter for 2 hours a day on weekdays so I can get some exercise.
  • I'd like to change some of my past mistakes and relive some of my past joys.
Mostly, though, I hope I've learned a few things from this past year of my life. And I hope I remember those lessons in my future.
