We had a music concert,


a sacred music concert, which is also an annual concert, at our parish church the other night. We use the funds to help pay the heating bills for the church and hall during the Winter. I sang with one of the choirs in it. They had a nice social afterward and for the first time I won a door prize! I never win. It's a joke at the office that if the lottery gets big enough that everyone is going to chip in to buy a group ticket they won't let me take part in it because my luck is so bad. Well, I won a door prize this time, and a few weeks ago I won a gift certificate to a local restaurant as a prize in a fund raiser for Unicef. (Could it be that my luck is changing? Perhaps I should start buying lottery tickets?) Anyway, my prize was a CD by this woman, Yvonne St. Germaine, a prize-winning Aboriginal singer. The CD is lovely, and such a nice gift to win. I feel blessed...
