Ayesha Rollinson at San Fran ITU Triathlon

When you lose something priceless, its return to you is like winning the emotion lottery. We all have something we have lost that has sentimental value. We all have something we pay into emotionally on a regular basis that we may not take proper stock of.

The best comparison would be one of those group lottery pools at work.

$2 every week does not seem like much. You hardly notice the investment when you have a steady income. That is until you get laid off. Then you think:
Why did I invest $2 a week in this stupid lottery instead of putting it into a savings account?
I cannot afford $2 a week anymore...
At the same time there is a voice that says
I cannot afford not to put $2 in. I cannot afford not to keep dreaming; I cannot afford not to stay positive.
