This week's topic is brought to you by the lovely Angie. :) She suggested, in honor of everyone's favorite green holiday, that we discuss the topic of luck. Okay...full disclosure: 1) I'm not Irish. Not one little bit. I'm apparently every other European nationality under the sun, but not Irish. ;) 2) I don't believe in luck, with the exception of bad luck. I seem to have a lot of that lately. Like...husband leaves for the week the same day we get 8 inches of snow. Like...three calls in three weeks regarding my sick children at daycare. Like...goodbye $525 dollars to root out my pipe so the sewer doesn't back up into my house. Fun times, people...fun times. But, I'm a team player, so I'll play along. If I DID believe in luck...these are some things that I might find lucky.
1. Red shoes. I don't know what it is...but red shoes always bring goodness. I've had many different pairs throughout my life, and they've all served me well.
2. Good music. Did you ever hear a song on the radio on the way to work and just know it was going to be a good day? Usually I hear crap like Ke$ha on my way to work, which is probably why my days usually stink, ha! ;)
3. The sun. Seriously. I love the sun. It can turn my day around. It can bring me joy. If I believed in luck, I'm sure it would bring it. It is amazing...and it really should come out more!!
4. 11:11. I have been a "Make a wish, it's 11:11!" girl for about as long as I can remember. People who have known me since I was in high school will still say it to me. I had a random ex-boyfriend mention it once. 11:11. It's serious business.
5. A smile. Okay, I don't know that this one has anything to do with luck. But I've found that if I do things with a smile on my face...well, better things happen. I need to remind myself of this often, otherwise all those "bad luck" instances start to overshadow all the "good luck" instances in my life. Though, as I've stated...I really don't believe in luck. ;)
