My grandfather always said “It is better to be lucky than good.” Well, when God was dishing out the luck quotient for our family, he heaped it on my grandfather and my brother. I got the minimal amount required to ensure that I would continue to wake up each morning and that’s pretty much it.

So it is with great elation that I wanted to share that I’ve had a part in actually winning something. Granted, the success probably comes from the fact that this was a combined effort of a lot of people. But still…. one must always celebrate when given the opportunity.

So what did I have a part in winning……

The animal rescue organization I work with participated in the Helen Woodward Animal Center’s Home 4 The Holidays Campaign. We entered one of our success stories from the campaign in the essay contest—- and we won the grand prize. See the story by clicking here.

Like I said before, this was not an individual accomplishment. There are numerous volunteers who care for these neglected and abused critters. There are also a lot of people who think over the kind of home an animal needs and then makes sure they get the right home.

It is good to get some recognition for trying to make a difference in your corner of the world. It doesn’t happen very often and when it does it is important to be thankful!

Addendum: The story was the same one I mentioned in the previous post. I think I will resubmit it to the lady and see if it is worth a mention now…
