Directions

I asked you to wish for sunny days - not heavy snowfall like we had yesterday.

Reminds me of an incident a long time ago about following instructions before starting an elementary school quiz.

The instruction of the teacher was to read the directions in full before starting the quiz.  Turns out the last direction of the 3 on the top of the page was to disregard the other 2 and just put the pencil down and quietly fold hands on the desk and wait on the others - to not take the quiz at all.

Of course, most of the students didn't bother to read the directions and were later embarrassed when the teacher shut down the exercise and pointed out their failure to follow her instructions and the directions.

So follow directions - you'll be better off because of it - as was I.
