Thankful...Day One

Today I am thankful for my daughter who taught me how to make wishes on leaves. If you'd like to try just do this...

• pick up a leaf. crumpled works as well as flat.
• close your eyes. really squeeze them. i told you close your eyes.
• make your wish while doing all the following...
• jump up.
• throw your leaf up in the air.
• say "blow."

*Important note: this wish-casting technique also works with sticks, but is then referred to as "wish-sticking," as opposed to leaf-wishing.
