New Wishes
A handful of wishes pulled from the cabinet this morning. Pick one up — copy, save it to your pinboard, or send it on.
Congratulations — you've reached the age where sensible shoes feel rebellious because nobody warned you they'd feel that good.
Fifty: old enough to know better, young enough to ignore it, rich enough in stories to bore everyone.
Your fifties are when the warranty quietly expires but the model keeps running — congratulations on the unexpected reliability.
Happy fiftieth — you've earned every gray hair, every laugh line, and at least one suspiciously loud sneeze.
Fifty candles is technically a fire hazard, but so is your continued enthusiasm for karaoke. Light them all.
