Once In a Lifetime

What if you, yes you, won a once-in-a-lifetime, never again prize - The biggest and best of them all? Imagine your parents bought the lucky ticket and all other jackpots look small. Now perhaps there's an unknown expiry date by which time your riches are spent In the space in between while you're king or queen Would you make the most of your lucky present?

If I knew the expiration date I would have to manage my riches wisely so they may perpetuate. I like this poem -JT

Great write. As long as we live a life we can be proud of and are happy then we have won the prize

Thanks Janet We've all won the prize, but too many of us squander it.

The age old question of "do we make the most of life?" I hope I do, but how can we tell when we've lived enough. I've had four once in a lifetime prizes with my children and now that their teens, I feel like I'm hanging on for the ride.
