Lucky, Lucky, Girl - she is me.

 I told you yesterday of the whoops I made with funding a project.  Spoke to the boss today about something else - and casually mentioned it - he said, "Hey finance never raised a flag, we spent per instructions.  Some more than others."  

Now we have a new project, people are covered and all is right in his world.  And now mine.

I am a very very lucky girl.  Whew. 

So, today I am working on being productive, of course when I have a plan things get tossed into my mix, and I have other things to deal with, but again.  Not bored, covered by project that pay our bills and few worries on life in general.  

It begs a question, how did I get so lucky?  Now my husband the luckiest SOB I've ever met says you make your own luck.  Good decisions.  While yes, making better choices does help with some things falling into place, sometimes stuff just happens, it is also your reaction to those bad times that make or break you as well. 

As I am honestly battling the mood issues of menopause I constantly remind myself how VERY lucky I am in all my aspects of life.  Health, job, funds, home, love and the ability to do as I please.  Not many people can say that.  

As I hear the church bells from across the street - I send up a prayer to my God, who in spite of all my failings still sees fit to watch over me and protect me from my stupid self.  While some may not hold the same beliefs as I do - its all good.  Everyone has their thing, and you do you.  If everyone lived by these words, let people live and shut the devil up about the rest - what a place we would be!

All right with a growing to-do list and things to accomplish today - off we go!

Knock on wood, or what ever lucky habit you have, take a moment to appreciate one positive thing in your day, trust me you'll feel better for it.
