The Winnings

It was a gorgeous day for walking yesterday, very mild out with a pleasant breeze. I met a friend of a friend by chance and we decided to walk together and had a nice chat. Her 35 year job came to an end, so she's now retired in her fifties. If she found the right job, preferably part-time, she would go back to work. But she was telling me about some of the horrible interviews she's been to and the strange, sometimes personal questions she gets asked. Fortunately, she has the option of staying home.

After that, I went over to my mom's and we went for another shorter walk. I read that exercise strengthens the heart, a weak one or otherwise. She asked me to buy her a $5 lottery ticket at the convenience store. I told her to be sure to sign it, I pulled out a pen and she told me to write my name on it and we'll split the winnings equally. Wouldn't that be great? (-:

Winning the lottery would be fantastic!!!!! FIngers crossed.

Walking is really good for our bodies. If only I was more focused and did it on a regular basis.

Happy weekend, jj

I have been buying lottery tickets lately too Christine.
I want to win a million dollars and set up a foundation.
Apparently the law of attraction does work if we believe.
Have a lovely weekend and good luck with your lottery ticket.

Joanna I love lottery stories for some reason.

Peggy it's great that you already know what you'd do with the money. I'll have to remind my mom to check the number.
