@mindlessfluff - a true lottery win!

Queen Geek asked me yesterday (via the comments) to research how we can both hit the lottery. I wish I knew how to pick the winning numbers, but I am just not lucky in that way.

I am not lucky in many ways. I don’t win prizes from contests. I don’t win many door prizes. I’m not the best, or the prettiest, or the most talented. Some would say, I got a rough hand in life.

I try instead to focus on the areas where I was lucky. I got into the college I wanted to – and it changed my life. I met and married my first true love. 25 plus years later, we may drive each other crazy… but we are still together and still love each other.

I am lucky enough to know what my talents and skills are. I can find you what you need. I am naturally enthusiastic and passionate. I can explain things in ways that almost anyone can understand. I take some awesome photos – they may not always make it out of the camera right away, but I took them and know they show what I wanted them to show.

I am lucky in friend picking. I am still friends with my best friends from college. I have a network of friends around the US and around the world. (Chances are, if you are reading this, you are in that group.) I have re-united with friends from high school thanks to my social media passions.

I am lucky in my choice of mentors – Ms. Betsy Weber, for example.

I may not be the healthiest person in the world, but I am healthy enough. After all, I am still here!

And finally, I am lucky enough to know just how lucky I am. And in today’s world, that’s saying something!
