Ever hope to win the lottery?  Hope things change your life etc... 

There is a saying I've learned, "out of blue comes green"  I've lived my whole life staying positive.   And my favorite book in the Bible is the story of Job.

It's a rainy August day today.  It's been raining days now.   Rain can either be something that makes you feel sad, or you can rejoice in what it brings later.  For me, I'll just laugh as I stomp and splash in the gutter. 

Nothing can replace the feeling and closeness of a family member in a time of crisis.  The only thing that comes close is winning the lottery.
