In less serious news

I saw the best commercial today. It was for the mega millions and it was this old school teach reading a letter from one of her former students. The letter tells of how she helped him become the successful, happy person he is and how she inspired him as a child. He also tells of how he won the lottery and offandedly he mentions an included a check which will allow her to travel, like she always wanted to, to all the facinating places she talked about in class. Such a warm commercial.

I have thought many a times what would I do if I won the lottery. My first thought was to give my family members lots of money. And then I added my friends. But then I realized that large sums of money are usually squandered by most including myself. So I thought paying off everyones debt first off was the best course of action. To be debt free. The of course some money after that. All of which came with a letter for reason why they were recieving the amount they were. But then that commercial reminded me that I should give money to all those people who helped make MY life such a wonderful place it is. Teachers being formost on that list. And even though I'd never be able to give to all the tiny people who made minute differences in my day I could always instead of giving individuals my tanrei cards I could give them the card with a $100 doller bill. Some people could be on to my scheme and attempt to do favors for me because of it but I think for the most part it would work out for the best.

As for me? I'd like the money don't get me wrong. I've always wanted a Ferrari, a nice house, and never having to worry about money. But really I'd rather just be comfortable then rich. I like nice things cause they help me enjoy more deeply life apposed to removing me from it. But I'll take love over money anyday. Cause regardless of what anyone says all the money in the world doesn't mean anything if you have no heart to enjoy it. But all the love in the world will allow you to find a way to anything regardless of how little money you have.
