A Wish Granted
Last evening I was listening to a local Chicago radio station and one of my favorite DJ’s named Delilah was on. She host an easy listening show on the weekends. Music like “Sade” and “George Michaels” are the typical genre. Delilah splits her time between playing music and talk. One of the questions she posed last evening was this, If you could have a cup of tea with anyone in the world, who would you choose? The wheels in my head started turning……..
My first thoughts drifted to a beautiful woman, but not just any beautiful woman. She had to be special. I thought wow! Maybe Pamela Anderson. She’s a beautiful woman, but would I waste this opportunity on her? Maybe not. Then I thought about Angelina Jolee, she’s really a beautiful woman, isn’t she? Women like those two have always been a fantasy not only for me but for just about any guy with an imagination, right? Wait a minute here. It just occurred to me that once a fantasy comes true, (not that many do), you have not gained anything because you no longer have that fantasy. You have actually lost something in the deal. I then started thinking that rather than just a beautiful woman to have tea with, maybe she should be someone that’s accomplished in some way or another. That’s it! A beautiful woman that has made some definitive contributions to the world. Someone who has earned my respect. This line of thinking opened up a whole new train of thought for me. Does it have to be a beautiful woman, Steve? I mean the question was anyone in the world. I then thought about maybe President Reagan, (if he was still alive). Or, how about a movie star. No, most of them are so full of themselves that I would just be wasting my wish. Try as I may I just couldn’t think of anyone that would fill the bill. Why couldn’t I think of anyone that was worthy of a fulfilling a wish like this?
It was then that I realized there was someone worthy of this special wish. It was then that I knew why I couldn’t think of anyone else. It was then that I knew who I wanted to have a cup of tea with. Not only is this person beautiful, but she’s wise. She has made many contributions to the world and the world is a much better place with her in it. It was then that I decided that I was going to ask my wife, Patti to have a cup of tea with me.
