But we have come to recognize the power of the spoken word, and to “be careful what we wish [...]]]> Many of us have been encouraged, from a very young age, to make a wish when blowing out birthday candles, or tossing a coin into a wishing fountain or even when breaking a wishbone of a cooked chicken.

But we have come to recognize the power of the spoken word, and to “be careful what we wish for”, afterall, the things we think about all day long will come to pass….

A married couple in their early 60s was celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary in a quiet, romantic little restaurant.

Suddenly, a tiny yet beautiful fairy appeared on their table.

She said, “For being such an exemplary married couple and for being loving to each other for all this time, I will grant you each a wish.”

The wife answered, “Oh, I want to travel around the world with my darling husband.”

The fairy waved her magic wand and… poof two tickets for the Queen Mary II appeared in her hands.

The husband thought for a moment, “Well, this is all very romantic, but an opportunity like this will never come again. I’m sorry my love but my wish is to have a wife 30 years younger than me.”

The wife and the fairy were deeply disappointed, but a wish is a wish.

So the fairy waved her magic wand and poof!….

The husband became 92 years old!!!!

If you could wish for anything, what would it be?

And of course, Mr Proutsos had to witness the madness!!

"Fans showing their support"

AEK fans regularly travel to Europe to see their team play, and have done so for many years, however, having their team on home turf is sure has been a special event.

And of course, Mr Proutsos had to witness the madness!!

However, devoting our lives to worthwhile actions, feelings and great thoughts is our choice. Choosing a sense of action that is worthwhile, focusing your thoughts on the important affections is an indescribable feeling that I personally wish upon everyone.

Now, sometimes situations which you would least expect turn out to be wonderful sources of inspiration.

Such situations, make us realise not to allow ourselves to be upset by small things we should despise and forget, but to focus on what really matters.

And what really matters is “Life”.

But isn’t it a shame that we humans often wait for sickness, tragedy or even death before we begin to get some real perspective.

Moving forward, when we find ourselves stuck in the same old pattern, is about helping ourselves to discover our incredible worth and uniqueness.

There are many ways of helping others. It could be by giving material goods or financial help. It could be lending a listening ear or just sitting beside the bed of someone sick. No matter the cause, we should help in our own unique way.

Remember, every good deed will not go unrewarded and as Jesus himself said:

“He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives Him who sent me.”

I have recently received a reward that is truly an ‘Honour’ and would love to share with you. The following is a message that actually brought tears to my eyes….

Hi Marchi,

I am the President of the PNH Support Association of Australia and write to thank you for your kind support of our petition.

The name may sound fancy, but we are a tiny group of PNH patients trying to do whatever we can to get the Government to fund the only effective treatment for PNH.

The Association has a Facebook group page and we are promoting the petition online and on paper and so far have submitted 5500 signatures to Parliament. We are on track to submit a similar number again in about 2 weeks.

Thank you for including us in your blog and supporting me and the other 69 Australians with this debilitating disease.

Kind regards,
Linda Charlton
