Recently a fellow contacted me on Facebook saying that a few
decades ago, when we were in university together, he'd taken
me out to dinner. I didn't remember him. I did remember
writing a poem after a date which could have been the dinner
he mentioned. I responded by reflecting on the poem but not
admitting I didn't remember him. He replied that he hadn't
known what to think, back then, when I told him about the
poem, and he started dating another girl.
So, it looks as if a young man who inspired me fell out of my
memory when his thinking and mine failed to mesh.
That said, a memorable gift is one which stays in the mind's
eye. For instance, a fellow once gave me a dark pebble with a
slice of white running across its middle that he picked up while
we were out walking. He said that stones like that were
"wishing stones." I still have the stone and on many occasions it
has seemed to be related to wishes coming true.
So, a costly dinner may not gain access to memory while a free
pebble may become unforgettable and dear.
Another woman may have remembered the dinner and lost the
pebble. That said, the gift ideas on this page are attractive in the
way that wishes coming true are unforgettable. The trick is to
tune in to the underlying wish.

Bulb Garden in a Basket looks
Perfect to me... and I'm thinking
I may give one to me.
I once gave a red and white
bouquet to a dinner hostess, who
received it saying, "I'll just add a
few yellow flowers. Red and
white flowers alone in a bouquet
are considered bad luck. Probably
because of the War of the Roses."

I remember being taken to a toy store in Wausau when I was five or
six. I was totally amazed that there was a store with nothing but toys.
Of all of them, I chose a box of Chinese puzzles. I remember them
still, and the thrill of seemingly locked pieces of metal slipping apart
every so easily when they were properly aligned.

Plants vs. Zombies
Because stress depletes vitamin B12, things
that reduce stress help you stay healthy and
help improve your memory. Playing Plants
vs. Zombies helps me believe IRS can be
defeated. Who do you know that loves
plants and would love the idea of defeating
baddies using plants.

Wishing to feel happier? -
It's nice not to be or even
remember feeling depressed.
Studies have shown that Sun
light helps dispel depression,
and full spectrum lights do
the same thing. Plus, they use
less electricity.

Wishing for a lighter,
brighter room? -
It's much easier to brighten
your loved one's sitting room
or home office with daylight
than you might think. I took
my living room out of the
shadowy dark ages with about
an hour and a half's work. It
being an outside wall, I used
furring strips behind the Orca
to get its insulation value.

Orca surpasses other reflective wall coverings.
Orca distributes light extremely well.
What does full visible spectrum reflectance mean - Why does it matter?
Applying Orca is easy.
There is a vast amount of informatin available on the Orca site.

Wishing for an end to
chilly drafts? -
This is a gift I'm giving
myself. It was between
these and the beautiful bulb
garden basket. I would love
the flowers, but warmth...
well, I love that a great deal!
I'm thinking the stripes,
instead of the solid natural.

Wishing to heat w/ half the
watts of oil filled radiators?
Set on low this infrared heater
uses only 750 watts. It isn't
meant to heat a room to 80
degrees, it's meant to be a
steady source of backup heat.
It heats the things in a room,
not the air, so it works more
slowly that forced air heating,
with a more steady result.

Wishing it were easier to clean?
It's somewhere between extremely
hard and impossible to use a
broom or push vacuum when you
use a walker. But this little guy
can sit on the walker seat. It's
beautifully light and easy to use. If
someone you love needs a picker
upper this little vac works great!!!
(even if no walker is involved.)
