I didn't win the lottery....Or did I?

"I will win...

Not immediately,

but definitively." - Anonymous

Biggest lottery ever last night: 1.6 billion dollars. The talk of the possibilities hung heavy in the air everywhere you went. Someone would surely win - why not me or you? So we buy tickets, which in reality are really more like just paying an additional tax to the government, as the likelihood of winning is slim to none (you know the odds: lightening strikes, getting hit by space junk, meeting your doppelganger in real life...) And you can't help but daydream about what it would be like to have that much money at your disposal. 

But then they draw the numbers, and you don't have even one.

So did you lose? How can you lose something you really didn't ever have or put any effort into? Nah, you just were not as lucky as someone else (or 3 other people in this case). So my life is still devoid of a millions of dollars today. So is yours probably too. But when I look around my life, and I take inventory of how much I have, I begin to see that I really am pretty lucky. I have gotten crazy lucky in so many of the aspects of my life: In love, in my career, in my kids, grandkids and even in my dog. So the quote above is my mantra for today. The things I can do, what I really put my effort into, that's what I am going to win. 

I've already won the life lottery. It's likely you have too.

So here's to us...

CHEERS, FRIENDS!
