It's all a matter of perspective
...Wanted to jot this down before I forget as it truly warmed my heart..
I'm not a big lottery player, but occassionally buy one of those scratch & win tickets. My 7yr old daughter asked if she could scratch one of the boxes, so I agreed to let her scratcth the "extra chance" one at the bottom. Having scratched the main playing area and winning nothing at all (of course) I passed the ticket to my daughter, her face was a picture of intense concentration while she carefully used a penny to scratch the ticket. "Mommy, Mommy! she cried, her face lit up with pure excitement, "we won, we won!!" She gave the ticket back to me and proudly pointed at the box she had scratched..."see there Mom, we won...Good Luck!"
She was so happy about that for the rest of the day and looking at her and sharing in her innocent joy made me think that maybe we did win something after all..........
