Think winning the lottery is rare? Try waking up healthy, happy, and caffeinated — that’s a jackpot worth celebrating. Bonus points if a squirrel throws you a fist bump on the way to the bird feeder.
Most of us will never hit the lottery. I rarely buy scratch tickets or participate in the big national drawings. One time I did play the numbers of one of my daughter’s birthday. I played it on her birthday (Valentine’s Day) and what do you know, I won a few hundred dollars. The way I look at it, waking up after a great night’s sleep, feeling healthy, and having a great attitude is a lottery winner. Toss in a perfect cup of coffee and an email box with nothing I have to respond to, ca-ching. If squirrels could talk, I imagine the squirrel when he hits my bird feeder every day might say, “Ca-ching, Life doesn’t get much better. “
