What is something you wish never to change?

My Sunday slices are often short, mostly about slow morning, sleeping family, a cup of tea and a book I might be reading. My Sundays overall are slow and rather uneventful because I choose them to be like that. The less happening the better. The weeks are eventful enough. School takes majority of my time.
Opening the blog this morning I was sure I would write about yesterday's dance competition. My daughter got the fifth place as she herself predicted and we were mighty proud of her. For me she and her partner are always the most beautiful couple on the floor. You can see them dancing here (she is in a red dress) at 2:23:00, and the all finalists after the single performances are done. There are five dances. The quickstep also included individual performance.
I didn't craft a slice for this competition. I have another little slice in my head, a slice from Friday morning at school, that I can't get out of my head and wishes to be shared.

J. was the morning circle person. We had finished the round of greetings and pulled out a little slip of paper with a daily question on it.
"What is something you would never want to change?" he asked.
I could see everyone turning inward to think of an answer.
My first reaction was: This is a stupid question. Everything always changes. I can't complain though. I was the one who wrote the questions. What could I answer? I wish Chocolate would always stay in the world? So shallow.
I didn't say anything.
K. straightened up, "I wish that people would always continue making friends."
M. smiled, "I wish my family would never change the way we get along."
J. added, "I wish there would always be goodness in the world."
I didn't see this coming. My kids offered so lovely answers and then I knew what I wished never to change.
"I wish that as I grow old my kindness and compassion would never change, that I would not become and bitter old little lady."
I am serious about this. I have seen that when people get older, some of them start seeing the world through a dark lens and they can't find anything nice to say. I wish I will always stay open-minded, curious and kind. Fortunately I have some beautiful examples from my life for this too. And from media. I saw a movie of 100-year -olds who were sweet, caring and grateful.
