Couldn’t Resist this Question!

What would you do if you won the lottery?

We are of course talking major lottery win here not enough for a cup of coffee and maybe a decent meal out in today’s financial climate.

For me the ultimate in life is to feel good, in fact one of my go-to mentors coined the phrase “Nothing is more important than feeling good!” If you would like to connect with this amazing force of nature you can find him at. http://www.andydooley.com

So once I’d stopped screaming, taken some calming breaths, and settled down, I would proceed in exactly the same manner through life. If it would make me happy I would do it, if not I wouldn’t. The money would be great, but feeling good is priceless.

Random Poetic Moment

I bought a lotto ticket
Then lots of time went by
Until I found it in my handbag
Where rubbish goes to die.

I was in time to check my numbers
And imagine my dismay
To find I'd been a millionaire
For 42 impoverished days!

I called the lotto people
Who were very nice and kind
Which was something of a blessing
As I thought I'd lost my mind.

But in truth I'd just been lucky
Beyond my wildest dreams
And my once depleted bank account
Was rich beyond my means.

I started planning spending
And all the things I'd like to do
Including buy a bigger house
To store a frock or two!

The cash would make me happy
It would change my life for me
I'd be able to buy anything
And everything I'd see.

I'd have a brand new motor car
A house with beds to spare
Stunning clothes to make me smile
And gorgeous fancy hair.

Then I heard the sound of crying
My little one was dreaming
And I ran upstairs to wake her
From the dreams that left her screaming

I sat her on my lap
And rocked her to-and-fro
And told of the money
All the places we would go

She didn't seem too happy
As she looked into my eyes
So I asked what upset her
And much to my surprise

She said

Mummy I have everything
A girl could ever need
I have a mum who loves me
And my puppy dog to feed

I have my friends at school
And a brother on the way
A daddy who works hard for me
And I have fun every day

The money sounds quite useful
It may be very nice
But no matter what we have or don't
I just like my life.

Millions would be amazing and gratefully received
But happiness is something special.
