To Gamble or Not to Gamble?


I had one of those mornings in which I woke up feeling in love with my bed. Pillows, down comforter, sunlight, temperature... all "just right" as Goldilocks would say. Since I had nothing to do... I laid there; completely in love, for a few hours. Grateful to have the luxury of doing so.

Manus and I spent a few hours chatting about where we would love to go. And for me, that's anywhere and everywhere! I adore seeing new people, places, and things. Architecture. Culture. Love it! I had caught a late night episode of Oprah about the author of "Eat. Pray. Love," and when she was searching for her own life's meaning, she took off to Italy. For a moment... I considered spending all that I have left and jet-setting to another country. I don't have a job! No need to wait for vacation time! What a joy that would bring to my life, and how desperate I am for joy. Purpose. I won the money gambling on luck. Do I dare gamble on joy?
