I often think to myself, "wouldn't it be great to win the lottery?" Then the endless imagination flows of what and where you could go if  you won...maybe it would be nice. Or then again maybe I've already won the lottery but in a different way. I have a beautiful daughter who I was lucky enough to hold, see and  who taught me more about life and gratitude than you can imagine. I have a son who lights up every room he walks into with his smile and taught us how to love. A husband, who I hate to brag but honestly maybe the best husband/ best friend out there. My dog always knows when I need extra kisses and snuggles  and my family and friends are beyond supportive. Wow- I have won some type of lottery or I just feel blessed.

I'm sure i did not feel this way after Lola passed. It was hard to see any good in something so tragic...it was easy to just be negative and sad about everything. It was okay to feel that way. As we grow and life keeps moving forwards it's going to be my personal mission to find the good in the bad. If I think it's a bad day, well maybe I can be grateful for the sunshine and  ocean breezes. Maybe it's the little things or the littlest people that teach us the most.
