I do believe in luck!

My luckiest day was when my crush came up to me in the hallway and started talking to me. I was so happy that day. But, we ended up being close friends :]

Hi Jennifer~

I believe that my luck runs along the unlucky side. The month of August was an incredibly yucky month for me and I am only hoping that my luck turns around here very soon.

Keeping my fingers crossed.

:ww:

my luckiest experience was getting to meet my hero, Paul Dempsey and have him treat me like an old friend. (https://www.somethingforkate.com) he is in a band whose music has saved my life… and he’s just the most down to earth and kind individual ever. the fact that he gave a normal someone like me the time of day several times was the luckiest thing ever, ever, ever. 😀

my second luckiest experience was the day i got my drivers license… i was 25 years old. i was terrified of driving but my mum said i needed to get it in case of an emergency. so i took lessons and was so nervous i nearly blew two left hand turns on reds. which would have been automatic fails. but i passed with only three points off. my mum said she knew i would pass because the check we wrote out to pay for the license was number 1979, the year i was born. go figure. 😀

I agree with the person who said it seems to come in spurts. I either have really bad luck at it seems like everything, for awhile, or it can go the other way too. :blossom:

I’ve been hearing a lot of great things about your books, so I’m crossing my fingers! :scooby:

Interesting topic. My daughter and I were just talking about luck today. Mine is just average–I seem to win and lose in equal amounts–but my daughter was definitely born under a lucky star. She plays sports. Now a senior in high school, she’s decided to concentrate on softball after also playing soccer and basketball. For years, we’ve noticed that although, she’s only an average athlete, whenever her coaches put her out to play, immediately her team would start doing better–even if the ball didn’t come her way. People outside our family have also noticed this phenomenon. (It doesn’t mean her team always wins the game; just that they are tougher to beat than expected.)

In math class, the teacher had a can of popsicle sticks. Each morning a student would draw one out to see if the homework had to be handed in. Every time my daughter was chosen to pull out the stick, the homework didn’t have to be turned in. Eventually the teacher forbade her from having any more chances to pull out the stick–much to the class’s dismay.

When local stores have drawings, she will either win the grand prize or a least a one of the nice ones (including tickets to Phantom of the Opera.)

She has gone to parties where games of chance are played, such as Bingo, and she wins. In fact, when I went to pick her up from one, the father of the birthday girl asked if he could take my daughter to Las Vegas. I think he was joking?

I have many more stories about my daughter and luck. And no, we’ve never bought a lottery ticket.

:woodstock: I definitely believe in luck! 🙂 I went to Italy with some friends when I was 18. We were having a long day because we lost our tour group. In addition, I was dying in pants because it was over 100 degrees, while all my friends were cooler in shorts. I was miserable and regretting my clothing choices– I had no idea why I had decided to put pants on! Eventually, we got to St. Peter’s Basilica, in Vatican City where our tour group was supposed to be. When we got to the door of the Basilica, all my friends got turned away because no shorts were allowed in the church. I, however hot I was, was allowed in the basilica. It was truly one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen and I would have missed it if I hadn’t suffered being hot all day long. My friends still haven’t seen all the beautiful and famous things inside… I’m sure they will one day though!
