I WISH YOU ENOUGH




~ Missxstatic I WISH YOU ENOUGH:
Today, I was on Facebook reading my timeline. I don't always do it, as there's so much spam lately. But, I came across something that caught my attention very easily. It's not who it is to, it is the reason why...


From the profile of TheIdealist:

Recently, I overheard a mother and daughter in their last moments together at the airport as the daughter's departure had been announced. Standing near the security gate, they hugged and the mother said:

"I love you and I wish you enough."

The daughter replied, "Mum, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Mum." They kissed and the daughter left.

The mother walked over to the window where I sat. Standing there, I could see she wanted and needed to cry.

I tried not to intrude on her privacy but she welcomed me in by asking, "Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?" "Yes, I have," I replied. "Forgive me for asking but why is this a forever good-bye?"

"I am old and she lives so far away. I have challenges ahead and the reality is the next trip back will be for my funeral," she said.

When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say, "I wish you enough." May I ask what that means?"

She began to smile. "That's a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone." She paused a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail and she smiled even more.

"When we said 'I wish you enough' we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them". Then turning toward me, she shared the following, reciting it from memory,

"I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.

I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.

I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.

I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.

I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.

I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.

I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye."

She then began to cry and walked away.

They say it takes a minute to find a special person. An hour to appreciate them. A day to love them. And an entire life to forget them.

Requests: Recipes

During conversation, I was asked "do you have the recipe for Lamingtons & Pavlova? I have been searching for many years and have not been able to find the recipes".

My family has an original cookbook, it was one of the first ever published in New Zealand - The Edmund's Cookbook. Previously, only two cookbooks had been created. While in recent years, many different versions began appearing. But, there was only one book which carried the best recipes, no copies could compare - the first deluxe edition went on sale in 1955.

My family and I were fortunate to receive a different version: The 25th Anniversary Edition.




If you're searching for the same recipes, please leave a comment and I will find a way of getting that recipe to you!
