Quotes, Thoughts, & a Little Poetry for Every Day of the Year
.jpg@webp "Book Page for \"Making Wishes\"")
Summary:
Sometimes while gazing at the night's sky, I imagine stars looking down making wishes on the brightest of us.
Making Wishes is the successor to Smile Anyway―another collection of original quotes and poems. This book also includes a small number of mini stories. Enjoy a profound thought for every day of the year, including the popular following:
"Dress yourself in the silks of benevolence because kindness makes you beautiful."
“Temptations don't appear nearly as harmful as the roads they lead you down.”
“Don't seek to be happy; let everyone else chase after that rainbow. Seek to be kind, and you'll find the rainbow follows you.”
“If I must start somewhere, right here and now is the best place imaginable.”
“There are times you find yourself standing by the wayside, watching as someone struggles to dig a well with a spoon, and you wish with all your heart you had arms and a shovel.”
“Sorrow on another's face often looks like coldness, bitterness, resentment, unfriendliness, apathy, disdain, or disinterest when it is in truth purely sadness.”
This book was written to inspire and motivate individuals on a daily basis.

A Poem per Day
5 OUT OF 5 STARS
This is a great bunch of poems, 365 to be exact. You could read one poem per day, if you wanted to, or all in one day. The choice is up to you. Richelle wrote these poems as a graduation gift to her son, but the content can be applied to anyone. Some are humorous. Some are inspirational. Some are a big kick in the pants, trying to boost motivation in the reader.

- An excellent book by Richelle E. Goodrich, to read as the new year begins, I highlighted my favorite wishes! Here are a few of my favorites-
- "Take time to laugh, to talk, to hug, and to cry. These are the human relief valves."
- "Few realize how loud their expressions really are. Be kind with what you wordlessly say."
- "Moms are life's number one cheerleaders without uniforms."
- "I wish upon a glimmering star, My hopes as distant and as far. So if this wish does not come true, I'm thankful for the few that do."
I highly recommend this book, I really enjoyed reading it and feel I gained some wisdom from it!―Janie R.
