Luckier than I could ever imagine! :thumbup:
I've also had a lot of poo to deal with over the years. But have always sworn to myself that no matter what, i am holding on to my positivity and inner happiness.
Sure i get a touch of paranoia at times, sure i'll shed tears and be upset. But despite all those outward signs of (temporary) distress, inside is a bubbly happy passionate woman, content with her life, and ouh so looking forward to what is to come.
So yes, i Am lucky and i Feel lucky :P
No matter what shite i'm going through every morning I am so glad to be alive and hear myself breathing and that is lucky just to be alive is lucky - So yes i consider myself lucky because the other option of not waking up is unlucky aint it?
life has a tendancy to throw shit at us, we all have things to deal with, some more than others, but we deal with it.
the way i see it, i am healthy, i am happy, i have family and friends that i love and love me back, i have a roof over my head, yes money etc is tight at the moment, but most are in the same boat
so am i lucky? definately, i am still breathing!
Earthy xx
Am I lucky?
Hell yeah!
I have some very good friends, I have some exceptional friends, I have had some fantastic experiences, I have some (to me) exciting plans and intentions.
It's all good...

"He was LUCKY to be alive at his age "
and he is 70

Not sure if i consider myself lucky as such after having been widowed young but every day i wake up with a smile on my face, and i have a happy and gorgeous little boy who thinks i am the worlds best mum lol despite not having the money to treat him to all that i would want to.
My family are healthy and happy, i have a roof over my head and most of all i have friends that care and love me for who i am not because i might be able to do something for them.
Lucky hmmmmm, fortunate - definately!!!
I think people can make their own luck. Sometimes by being positive and having that effect on the people around them - making them more likely to co-operate. Sometimes by taking an action - sending that letter, asking if xyz is possible, having a go.
If you take those factors away there are some truly lucky events, often about being in the right place at the right time.
I know that I've commented to someone that they seem to be blessed with good luck and that I am always struggling and they said "I was thinking exactly the same about you". Our struggles and doubts are often invisible to others - all that they see is our results and successes.
As for me right now? Life is pretty good - but work is threatening redundancies, the mortgage isn't arranged yet and son's uni application is still up in the air. So - lots to worry about. Same old, same old.
