jackpot

alittle after 3 today, the phone rang at my desk.  hardly anyone has my direct line, so seeing the familiar number on the caller ID was a welcome distraction.

"can you pick up a mega millions ticket tonight?"

i couldn't help but crack a smile.  he was trying to downplay the excitement in his voice, but i could still hear it.

one of the many things i adore about my husband is his boundless sense of hope.  without it, we probably would never have begun dating, and that is a constant reminder to me.

i don't need to hit the lottery to know that i'm a winner.
