[Snowflake]

I was emailing with a friend this morning and we were talking about things, like the recent sale of my fantasy estate that I'd restore if I had won the powerball (sadly that will go under the wrecking ball soon). And she said to me, "Why aren't we lucky?"

And I was just thinking about that the other day. I am really, in fact, quite lucky, I think. I have a comfortable life, a decent wage, a really great cat, some very lovely friends, reasonably good health, and interests that I can and do enjoy which cost little financially and enrich me a great deal inside. I thought when she asked that question, well, is it luck? I don't know, but I do feel incredibly lucky.
