I guess I'm not lucky...

Well, in the sense that I didn't win the lottery. BUT. it doesn't mean I am not lucky. After all I did find a 4 leaf clover - that's lucky in and of itself. Not to mention the other things in life that we often take for granted. I am lucky to be alive for one thing. I am lucky to have a beautiful wife and daughter. I am lucky to have a roof over my head and am lucky to have the means to feed my family and yes, to buy material things too.

I was reading an article in HOW magazine yesterday and something struck a chord with me. It was an article about Journaling/sketchbook keeping and how that doing it consistently exercises your creative brain, etc. But the one thing that was somewhat humbling was one of the journal exercises. It said to sketch EVERYTHING you own. Every piece of clothing, silverware...EVERYTHING. That's when you truly realize how much you have and that IS humbling to some degree. Just think about how long that would take. Maybe then you will realize how truly lucky we are!

I do keep a journal/sketchbook and will post some of my doodlings in the future, but dont count on seeing a bunch of drawings of everything I own!
