Breaking up the Monotony

I am in a rut. Have been for a while. Too long actually.

I need something different. A change. Something more than the daily routine of: get up, go to work, count the hours until 4:00, go home, run out of time needed for gettin

g the things done that need to be done, go to bed…tired, wake up… tired, and start all over again. Yes folks, if that’s not called a RUT I don’t know what is.

Yesterday, I needed to do something…ANYTHING that would break up the monotony of my life. I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. What do I do?

Not much…and THAT’S the problem.

So I went out and did something I’ve NEVER done before.

I bought a Powerball ticket. No biggie…I’ve done THAT before.

And…I BOUGHT ONE OF EACH SCRATCHER that was in the case. Yep. Sure did.

Don’t ask me how much I spent. That’s none of your business. And quite honestly, when I bought them I didn’t even care if I could afford them or not. It was all or nothing. I went with ALL.

The results?

Well…I checked the Powerball numbers this morning…didn’t win.

I played one of my scratchers…didn’t win. Many more to scratch.

Do I regret my decision? NOT ONE BIT.

Would I do it again? SURE

Will I? Probably not.

I am content with simply being able to say that I did something without thinking about it for days…without playing out all of the “what ifs” and then talking myself out of the decision.

Sometimes, you just have to throw caution to the wind and “JUST DO IT!”

Let the DIALOGUE begin: Have you ever had a “throw caution to the wind” moment? If so, what did you do?

Talk to me!

Til next time…

***NOTE*** Today is Saturday and I have since played 2 more Scratchers. Didn’t win on one and won a new ticket on other.
