Dream house dreaming

We are getting a new house! It's being given to us along with maid service, yard service, and chef service.

...As long as we win the wish home lottery, that is.

I have never bought a lottery ticket in my life, but Mitch and I decided that since it's a cause we believe in, we may as well support it and have a chance at a sweet house while we're at it. So...October 5th we find out if that new house and chef service is really mine all mine. It's funny though how I let my mind run away with me. I've already picked out which house I would live in, how I would save and spend the rest of the prize money, and how our lives would be infinitely better. Isn't that interesting though, how I could think one moment that life couldn't get any better, and then the next moment be convinced that life could never be as good unless I win the house?

I've been working on my perspective this week. Realizing that while there is a rediculously slim chance that we will have a new house, we are already happier than I could ever have imagined. We already have a house, I'm a good cook if I do say so myself, we have landscaped ourselves an awesome yard, and I have been known to clean a bathroom from time to time. We really don't need anything more. We have been blessed with exactly what we need when we need it.

Therefore I will be content to win second prize - vacation for life.
