monopoly

I received a letter in the mail yesterday with a cheque attached. Completely out of the blue. Fantastic!

I felt like I was playing Monopoly and I’d picked up that card that says you’ve just won second prize in the beauty contest so collect $200. Or when you put on a winter jacket for the first time and you feel sad because summer is over and then you find a little stash.of.cash that you’d forgotten all about and suddenly winter doesn’t seem so bad after all. Super!

It happens with money but also with other stuff.

You wake up and suddenly remember that it’s Sunday and there’s absolutely nothing you have to do today except relax and find good coffee. Or the tram arrives just as you do. Or you get home after a Big Day and you find that your lovely one has been shopping and stocked the fridge with all your favourite stuff and on top of that, they’ve made dinner!

Good stuff happens all the time. [Sometimes it’s just a matter of seeing it].
