The wheel of fortune
I have been betting my life for many years, at times the wheel came up in my favor other times it drew a blank and I lost. Fourteen years ago Mexico was a 35 thousand peso bet that everyone but Franca said would lead to my ruin. “It could not be done and I would lose it all.” Today, the property has sold, that wheel has stopped in my favor giving us a winner to the sum of some 4.5 million pesos. I think this is my last bet, except at a friendly game of cards at the poker tables. I am cashing out with enough money to spend the rest of my remaining years in comfortable retirement.
There was a time when the only thing I had to wager was my life and my credit card of desire to become an engraver.
Life has been a great adventure with many unexpected events.
Thank you God for giving me this beautiful day.
Thank you God tor all these gifts you have given me, they have exceeded my wildest dreams
Thank you God for my beautiful wife. Thank you for this extra bit of life.
Keep me a motivated, honest man.
He who was once destitute with no roof over his head
Your servant,
Joseph engraver, Man of Leisure
