Did you ever…

dream of winning the lottery and playing over and over in your mind how you would spend the money if you won??  No reason to ask this as I rarely buy a lottery ticket.  I will buy a ticket if the Power Ball or Mega Millions gets way up there in the hundreds of millions.  I have no idea what the payout is on the lottery games right now, because as I said I don’t follow the lottery.  But it is fun to dream and since it is the holiday season I am dreaming.  What would you do?  Here is what I would do.

Number one for me is the American Cancer Research.  I have lost so many loved family members and friends to this dreaded disease.  Since I am battling it  myself now it looms ever important.  Next I would give a good portion to Mainstream Services, a center for handicapped persons (children and adults) who are mentally and physically challenged located in West Virginia  and co-founded by my niece Dee .  Dee gave up her career as a high school Special Ed teacher to do this.  And the list goes on, probably to include a house of my own again, washer and dryer, water softener and a two car garage.  LOL  I have sung that song before I do believe.

I ran the vacuum and put out some Christmas decorations yesterday and it took a lot of Aspercreme last night to get my muscles to settle down.  While I was cleaning yesterday I found a couple more shards of glass in my living room.  All I have to do is shut my eyes and I can imagine my kitchen window breaking  and my being right there in the path of the flying glass.  I thank God each day that I was not at home.

I am still trying to fight off this bug that has grabbed hold of me.  It doesn’t seem to want to let go.

Have a lovely peaceful day.  Stay safe and be happy!!

I have not been as peppy the last few days.  I will be so glad when this finally gets over.

Stay safe and be happy.
