@papilloncharity - beautiful pictures! And so true, there is beauty all around, just take the time to appreciate you. And your observation about lottery winners just ending up poorer than they were before they won a huge sum of money is also so true, and sad.
Thank you my friend, it's all about preparation and I can thank my trade days, as they drilled the importance of preparation before anything into us.
To tackle a task haphazardly normally ends in disaster and just so it is in nature and where big money is concerned.
I am so glad that they have now instituted compulsory counseling for the winners prior to the payouts of the winnings.
Maybe they should make it mandatory for a sizable portion to be invested into a fixed deposit with a monthly payout.
But selah, human greed is a difficult animal to control.
Blessings and hope that you have a good weekend!
