How Lucky Am I?

I have always considered myself a lucky woman. I just plan on having luck. In fact I have told my children that I am certain we will find just the right parking place, the one right smack in front of the store because I am a lucky woman. I want to hang around for the raffle tickets to be read because I feel deep in my soul that I will be a winner. I read an article a few years ago that studied the "luck" of people that felt like they had luck as opposed to those who didn't feel like they were ever lucky. Those who felt "lucky" indeed were. Those who considered themselves unlucky, never won the prize, found the penny on the ground, and certainly never found an empty parking place right in front of their destination. But I am a lucky woman. Maybe this is because years ago your dad and I were hunting for four leaf clovers and found one! Dad put it into a piece of clear tape and has kept it for years. I think he still has it. We have truly been lucky! But then, I believe "we make our own luck". I think you can attribute that quote to me, but I am not certain. The luckiest day of my life was the day I married Dave. He has been the love of my life, the joy in my life, my partner in crime and my all time best friend. We have very literally grown up together. I have dated him since I was a sophomore in High School, and you know what, He is still the one I love being with the most. On this Saint Patricks Day, I feel lucky to have married a man that dreams big and makes sure they come true! I love you Dave! So remember, "We make our own luck", and Dave was and is the man of my dreams.
