UMS. Let’s get at it

ME: I’ve been following Findingme’s journal, and something really struck me. Not so much about what happened for him which is bloody awesome. What hit me was my own reaction. Before very recently, I’d have felt happy for him on the surface, but underneath I’d have been jealous and felt dejected because “things like that don’t happen to me”. Both of those things are conspicuously absent. Good things happening to someone else take nothing from me, so there is no reason to be jealous. And something amazing like that happening to someone goes to show that that or something better CAN happen for me, not that it can’t. Who knows, today could be the day.
Oh, and finding me, I always used to say that I can’t win the lottery because I don’t play. Thanks for disproving THAT wisdom saying of mine.
