Are We Lucky or What?

I'm reading Tim Russert's book Wisdom of Our Fathers and enjoying the stories from daughters and sons about what their father's meant to them.

I really like the story a daughter told about her father who instilled a positive outlook in his children by the repeated use of a couple of simple phrases, "are we lucky or what?" and "it's perfect I wouldn't change a thing."

A positive outlook on life has to be one of the best gifts a mother or father could give their children.
