Live A Lotto

I have wrote loads of random stuff on here today but it's mostly jumbled nonsense so I just keep deleting it all. It still amazes me that I find it easier to share my thoughts with the world on here than to talk about stuff to my nearest and dearest but I really am trying lately to not be such a closed book and to let people see what's beneath the surface.
A lot of today has been spent talking to a friend who, if i'm honest, is concerning me. She seems to be in a bad place at the moment and I wish I knew how to help but I have a feeling that this is something she'll have to figure out for herself. All I can do is be here and offer my time and strength whenever it's needed. I'm sure she'll be fine though, she's a very strong person.
On a lighter note, the same friend told me a story about how she has misplaced a lottery ticket before she was able to check the numbers. The thing is that so far, a jackpot winner from that draw has failed to claim their winnings. Could it be the winning ticket? We're not just talking about a couple of million either. This is over a hundred million. Imagine that. It'd be driving me completely insane. I would love that amount of money. The more, the better. I'm not one of those deluded fools that claim that 'money wouldn't change me'. Don't be ridiculous. Of course it would. I know it would change me, anyway. As much as I would like to be able to help all the worthy causes that are always fundraising to help people and animals in need, I would rather give one large amount of money to a single charity to make a significant difference to one group of people than smaller amounts to many and only make a slight difference if any. There are a few people in my life that I would like to help have a more comfortable life but I wouldn't help everyone and that might earn me a few enemies. The thing is that there are a handful of people that I know would not think any different of me whether I gave them a fortune or nothing at all and they are the people that would get my help. I believe that if you want to be rich, you should count the things you have that money can't buy cos I know that it's those things that make me a very wealthy person indeed.
I decided that from now on, I would end each blog with a quote.

No matter how rich you become, how famous or powerful, when you die the size of your funeral will still pretty much depend on the weather.
