A Rarity - Good Things Happening to Good People
Tuesday, December 7th, 2004Just read this. It warmed my heart, which isn’t easy to do because typically my first and foremost reaction to other’s good fortune is jealousy. I first read about this woman’s work through an article on Reader’s Digest. I was very moved by the story, by her dedication and determination to get laws passed. I think they will do even more great things with the recent winnings.
On the other hand, our neighbor, less than 5 houses from our house, has won an after-tax lump sum of $35+ million dollars this summer. I haven’t heard a peep about what their plans are for this incredible amount of money. All I’ve seen so far is them doing major renovation to their house, not that there’s anything wrong with that, just…
What a big contrast.
