Friday, May 13. 

Feeling lucky?

 

Today is day like any other day; it is what we make it. I don't think Friday the 13th has any potential to drag me down, but if I believed it did, then it would. 

 

I write this before my wedding day has occurred so I cannot report, but I have heard both sides of the luck coin. If it is sunny, then wow what a beautiful lucky day for a wedding. If it rains, the tales say that means good luck too. 

 

I know that rain or sun does affect the strength of my union with my groom. 

I also know that he came into my life because I was in a good place. I was creating life how I wanted it to be. I believed that someday I would find love again and it would happen in the natural course of my life. I wanted someone in my age demographic (he is three weeks older than me); I wanted someone who had kids so understood parenting but did not have little kids still to raise (his sons are early 20s); and I wanted someone who understood me. I hit the jackpot. 

You too can create your life. It can be love, it can be wealth, it can be better health, whatever. The first step is to believe that it is possible.

 

More later. 

  

 

  

Words to Ponder:

 Go and wake up your luck.

SAGE ADVICE   

 

"Do the things you used to talk about doing but never did. Know when to let go and when to hold on tight. Stop rushing. Don't be intimidated to say it like it is. Stop apologizing all the time. Learn to say no, so your yes has some oomph. Spend time with the friends who lift you up, and cut loose the ones who bring you down. Stop giving your power away. Be more concerned with being interested than being interesting. Be old enough to appreciate your freedom, and young enough to enjoy it. Finally know who you are. "

Kristin Armstrong
