Lady Luck comes to visit | Filed under General
The rollercoaster ride full of highs and lows and twists and turns continues and I can say I am never bored an hour in my life. I get up every morning wondering what new strange glamorous thing is going to happen and it happens at fairly regular intervals. Lady Luck has been good to me and I fancy she has been good to everyone. Only some people are dour, and when she gives them the come hither with her eyes, they look down or turn away and lift an eyebrow. But me, I give her the wink and away we go.
You see If I can wake up in the morning and stay awake then I begin looking forward to what the day has to bring me, My attitiude does not depend on what the day gives me–I take what the day gives and love it and live it. This kind of attitude sure could make for a lot of wonderful days, all in a row, and a lot of wonderful days in a row could make for a great year, and eventually a great life.
When life says “come here and live me,” I hope that I’m up to the challenge of accepting the invitation, no matter how threatening or out-of-the-ordinary it may seem to me. When life says “do something new and different and enjoy what I have to give,” I hope that I’m willing to take the risk and see what happens, even if things don’t turn out the way I hope they might.
The most important thing to me about all this is that I am truly TRUSTSING life. There are no if’s, no and’s, no but’s. I trusts life and takes it on its terms, not on my own. I knows that life has many truly great things to offer, and I’m going on a treasure hunt looking for them all. I truly am living a full life by living each day in its own special way, taking what it has to offer and making the most of it. Yes, Life Is Simply Good.
Yes it is the posture we take while going about our day,and the attitude we project toward those who cross our path, which will influence what the day brings. No one else can decide for us how or what we feel. We are each responsible for our own choices . We have the power to be as content or as discontent as we make up our minds to be. Even while on this rollercoaster, I realize I have things to do so today when Lady Luck gave me the wink away I went. Lady Luck and I are good friends and will keep you updated as we have information from the medical world to report. In the meantime, why don’t you accept Lady Luck when she gives you the wink instead of turning away

You’ve hit the nail on the head. Life is full of challenges, we need to focus on the luck and the gifts of today.

Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
And today? Today is a gift.
That’s why we call it the present.

I know, when she has glanced my way I have danced with Lady Luck, myself, and she always leads.

It sounds like you are feeling more hopeful today, I am glad.
Take care and yes, life is truly good.

We must be on the same rollercoaster, Vickie. Sometimes it’s a bit scary and threatening, and sometimes it’s exhilarating and fun. But hey, as long as we’re both still on the ride, huh? Let’s throw our arms up in the air and enjoy it.

Hey kid. Is that you in the horse shoe? I pictured you a little taller than that. I’m not so sure that trust describes my relationship with life. I’ve been taught to play with the hand you were dealt. You may be able to draw a card or two, but ultimately there are only so many cards to draw from. My life has been mostly good, and most situations have turned for the better, and my ‘purpose’ now makes sense to me and is worth the struggle. I try not to look too far ahead, but sometimes allow myself to wonder. First thing I may do when my ‘purpose’ is fulfilled is to take a bit of a trip. Maybe meet some people, see some things, get a way for a short bit. Then I’ll knee back up to the card table and ante up for another hand.

Although I try to stay positive about life, you just pointed something out to me. I don’t completely trust life, even though I know things happen for reasons. Thank you for pointing that out to me.
I do need to become friends with Lady Luck too, she’s snubbed me for too long
I am awaiting your news from the medical world and keeping you in my prayers. *HUGS*

Now there ya go. Thats the spirit. Choose fun and kick up them heels. I have had my nose to the grind stone abit much nowadays. But soon I’m coming back for some fun. Thanks for the reminder.

I am glad Lady Luck is your pal. Although, I am not sure it is luck. I think it is a reward for appreciating what you have.
March 30th, 2006 at 9:55 pm
Lady Luck has smiled upon me at times, but sometimes I have been too late to appreciate her gift and lost it before I could appreciate what I had been given.
I wish you the best of news on the medical report and I’ll keep an eye out for the Lady!

Good ol’ Lady Luck, always good 2C Her. Have a nice weekend.
TGIF.

Having you come to Augusta and not being able to see you was bittersweet, but at least you called me and I felt you close. Miss you so much and hope Lady Luck slips up and give you a ruby red kiss on the cheek and bestowes upon you eternal luck.
March 31st, 2006 at 4:45 am
As I await your news, I’ll be saying a prayer for good luck, Ms. Vickie.
March 31st, 2006 at 8:16 am
What you are calling luck Vickie, I suspect is your own indomitable spirit, but it doesn’t matter what it is just as long as you still have it.
March 31st, 2006 at 1:03 pm
We don’t write the script, huh. Thinking of you and sending you big love mi sister.
March 31st, 2006 at 1:51 pm
Lady luck has visited me too. Yep I too live each day and trust my direction of it.
March 31st, 2006 at 3:27 pm
Wisely stated - I just need to follow your advice.
March 31st, 2006 at 4:01 pm
Hugs Vicki! I am glad to see you felt good enough to post. I know what a struggle it has been for you. I pray that lady luck stays with you and that ride is enjoyable!
Hugssss

That’s quite a good attitude to have. There’s much to be said about going with the flow and taking the things you’re given and running with them.
I’ve found trusting in the Lord gives the same results as accepting Lady Luck. Of course, she might just be Him in disguise.
March 31st, 2006 at 6:24 pm
Lady Luck sure smiled at me last night, but, I prefer to call her my angel.
March 31st, 2006 at 6:53 pm
Awesome, inspirational post, Vickie!! Life is good and we have to live it to the fullest. We have to acknowledge the bad and deal with it so we can enjoy the fruit and the blessings more.
Take care of you.. You’re still on all active prayer lists. Besides, you have Miss Julia aka The Force of Nature behind you, too.

Here’s “Winking” at you kid!

I love what Kathy posted -
Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
And today? Today is a gift.

Sounds charming, Vickie.
Then again, are we confusing luck with destiny?

Life is a path and Lady Luck is the guide that helps all of us choose a way.
She is with you and with us when we are in your presence when we stop by to say hello.

Hoping for the best, Vickie.
Thank you for the reminder, also. I have been very unhappy lately and you’ve helped me to understand why and how I can fix it. I can’t tell you how much this single post has changed my outlook.
God Bless, Vickie. Sincerely.
