Two.to.go.
Today on the A to Z Challenge, Y is for Yeah! It could easily go down because the month-long challenge is almost over. It’s been a grueling month in which I haven’t kept up with comments or blog reading.
It could also signify a cheer for this month’s 6 Words challenge prompt.:
April 29 is World Wish Day. If you could grant a wish for someone else – what would it be, in six words?
Every month, I compile a post called 6 Words. Ernest Hemingway inspired it when he said any story can be told in a six-word sentence. I ask bloggers, friends, strangers, and a few strange blogger friends to respond to a prompt.
You all impressed me with your humor and sweetness, your ingenuity and heart. Plus you saved my butt for having to come up with a Y post all my own.
So what would your wish be?
1. Happiness, not all day, but everyday.
Ashley M., of Post-grad Jitters blog

Thank you for including mine! Some great ones here 🙂
Glad you could make it! Lots of worthy wishes beating around up there.
Aw, all the wishes were so wonderful and still gave me such hope. By the way, I give you tons of props for doing this challenge and pretty much know I wouldn’t be able to keep up this pace at all myself.
The one about Robin’s arse is getting some attention. It’s a labor of love, but I definitely love to do these posts, Janine.
Thanks for sticking with every single one.
LOL – I guess I missed the point here. Everyone is so thoughtful and loving . . . and then there was me giggling away. Thanks for including my comment and photo and great post for Y.
You didn’t miss it at all. The beauty of six words is no one knows what anyone else has said. It’s genuinely yours, whether it’s thoughtful or loving or funny or otherwise. Thanks for the photographic evidence for your sentence!
Reblogged this on New Bloggy Cat and commented:
May all our wishes be granted! \(❀‿❀)/
Perfectly wonderful wishes!
not at all unreasonable, right?
One has to love wanting a smaller ass.
Mine’s perfect for me, Laur. I need every square inch of it.
I’ve lost about 35lbs so my ass is delicate now.
I noticed you look pretty svelte there, Fratello. I thought you were re-enlisting in the service or something.
Thanks Mate, svelte with a capital S. No reenlisting for me.
They might make you a general.
I could swing it!
Wonderful wishes. 🙂
Glad you could zip one in too, Andrea.
Hey, Eli. Yeah!
I love all of them, Eli! Thank you so much for including mine and for doing this every month. The 6-word stories are always inspiring, funny, and just plain awesome. YEAH for your challenge month being almost over – awesome job (says she who never does these challenges)!
Glad you did, Kristi. Also glad to have you in it – it’s a blast to put together and puts me back in touch with adored writers like you. you get a sampler platter in every one of these.
I don’t know that I’d do this challenge again .. I’ll write about the ups and downs for the Z post (although I still have to find a fitting Z word.)
Some really good ones here for sure though I think the smaller ass one has to be my favourite! LOL.
There’s a line forming for that wish.
These are beautiful! A delightful mix of poignant and funny. Good job Eli, and congrats on finishing this marathon blogging month!
These are absolutely perfect, Eli… what a great combination of feel good and funny good phrases! Thanks for including mine (and the link to Ryan and Mile’s page)
I love the mixed nuts we get around here this time of month, Becca. Thanks for playing along and bringing Ryan and Miles to our attention.
Definitely health for everybody who is sick, especially children.
Love, peace and food for all of us. Smilies, too.
Especially pizza. Amen.
Thanks for including me–such an uplifting post!
Thanks for contributing to such an uplifting post, and we’re thinking about your town today, Amanda.
A wrap-around porch overlooking a stream. Yes, please.
Thank you for including mine,Eli. Oh that it could come true.
Doesn’t that sound perfect? I can see myself with my laptop out there writing. Thanks for contributing – I know yours was a tough one, and I wish we could grant it.
Thank you so much for inviting me to be a part of this, Eli. Lovely, lovely post!
Glad you could make it, Laurel. Thanks for contributing!
I love these so much! Thank you for including me. I almost forgot what I submitted. It made me smile. 🙂
Thanks Jennifer! It’s great to get you back in the game. This could be like that $5 you find in that jacket pocket.
Always love reading these.
Thanks Amy – email me and I’ll get you into the next one.
Some great wishes for sure – wish some could really be granted!!!
Thanks for including me:)
Even just two or three would be awesome. Thanks for being part of it.
I have never been in better company for your six-word challenges, Eli. There were lots of heartfelt entries. Truly touching. As always, thanks for including me. 🙂
It’s like an all-star game here, isn’t it? Glad you could be part of it, Michele.
What a nice idea! I’m glad I stopped by to read all the wishes.
Glad you stopped by – I’ll have to get you in one of these someday, Stormie.
Of all the 6 words you’ve done, this might be my favorite.
I have happy tears in my eyes…too bad I’m sitting in a Sports Clip with my son – he is so embarrassed 🙂
Thanks Michelle! Maybe he thought you were watching Royals highlights.
Good call! I was actually watching the game during this time, so I could have totally saved the situation had I been thinking 😉
Two things are sure to make a guy cry: A swift kick where it counts, and his favorite baseball team.
yes!
… and it counts!
I feel overwhelmingly happy that so many of these wishes involve healing a sick loved one or taking away pain. I wish we all could do that. This post makes me smile. Thanks for letting me participate, Eli!
This tribe is goofy to the max, but they also like to sprinkle in some sweet. It’s a good mix. Glad you liked this, Jess. Loved having you in it!
Thank you for inviting me to join in, I hope to next month too. I really enjoyed everyone’s answers. I am going to post about this on my blog this Saturday.
Just send me an email for the prompt. kinda cool to see everyone’s responses, right? Send me a link to your blog about it!
So many sweet wishes…
And a couple of funny ones. But would you expect anything different around here?
I wish everyone could have a heart full of joy.
and then the smaller ass thing. 🙂
A heart cannot be too full of joy. And let’s not get asses *too* small.
Love this feature. Thanks for including me! 🙂
Thanks Michelle. Glad you were a part of it!
