Is the line from Mary Poppins where the kids re-write the ad for their father?
And I really like that list. Sure, mine is different, but I do support the idea. It's always been that "3 wishes" problem with the lamp, the genie, the fortunate rich person, whatever...you have to be ever so specific so as to get what you need rather than what you have asked for.
Why is it that it's so hard to articulate what we really need in life? Why are we so afraid of knowing that? Maybe it lays us too vulnerable to those who would use it against us, willingingly or un.
Anyway, those are my random additions to your thougths. I hope that you are in a place where you have found peace with that list.
