Yesterday an unused Christmas penguin toy began chattering away in our storage room. All on his own. We investigated and found that he was being sprayed by water coming from a pinhole leak in a cold water line. The toy saved us from a lot of damage to our home. We contacted a plumber just in time.

All this led me to thoughts about good fortune. Luck has smiled on me repeatedly during my lifetime. I don't need to win the lottery to realize that. I'm giving thanks.
