Just a little treat

There’s this little dream I have, where I find out I have the winning lottery ticket. Suddenly, a life-changing sum of money is mine. I have the freedom to quit my job, to travel freely, cover the check when out with friends, and just move confidently, unburdened by money problems. Wouldn’t that be nice? To just easily receive the answer for everything I wanted so quickly.

Well today, I wanted a little sweet treat. I forewent stopping at the coffee and donut shop slightly out of my way. I was annoyed with myself for not giving into the craving but hoped maybe I could get something better.

I got to my destination. Just ahead, I discovered that a local vendor was passing out free desserts. No hidden catches. 100% free. Just ask for it and it’s yours. I was gleefully thankful for the treat, the answer to something I hoped for.

It was just a popsicle, not millions of dollars, but it was enough. It was evidence to me that there are good things waiting for me. If I can receive and acknowledge these small gifts, I am excited to welcome the more that is to come.

The genie grants you a wish. What is it?
