I was strucked by this question and felt quilty all of a sudden. Most of the time we never appreciate what we have. We're ungrateful for the blessings that come our way. Would you take a million dollars for what you have right now? Your children, your family, your husband, your parents or even your eyes, or your feet? Do we appreciate what we have or we just continue on complaining for what we don't have?

Although I`m happy that I have enough money to get by (Ihave enough food, a shelter and clothes) I would not change any of the most important things I have for money. I would not change any one of my friends or family, I would not even exchange my old 6 year old Winter shoes (I wonder what will I do when they just disolve). Would I take money for my awesome veggies that I have grown from seedlings? No. They give meaning to my life. I have been dreaming about the harvest since I planted them. I often think that rich people are very poor as they cannot dream as I do.

I wouldn't take a million dollars for anything of sentimental value. A million dollars is not even that much money and won't go as far as people like to think it would. Yes, it is a nice amount and would be nice to have, but it's not an unattainable goal to get without having to sell your soul for it. I could go through a million dollars in a week probably. I would give up something insignificant to me though for it, like my car or my house, heck with a million extra bucks, I would just go buy a new and nicer one!! Lol. Happy myLotting!!
