I AM a gal of good fortune

Mostly enjoying great luck

I AM a frequent big winner

Of prizes and contests and such

I AM a doyenne of kismet

As I age, mostly positive stuff

I AM a creator of asset

Not gluttonous or greedy – enough

I AM a woman who chooses

To see what is good in the world

I AM blessed, gifted and grateful

I AM a lucky old girl

~ And by the way… I AM a firm believer in the fact that we make our own luck ~

*Inspired by  Theme Thursday

 

You breezed into my life

Gentle,

Warm,

Blustery on occasion,

Sharing moods and meals and deals,

Belly laughs, giggles and squeals.

Mellow and relaxed,

You then taught me to be.

Hallelujah!

I AM lucky,

Tickled,

In fact,

To call you

Friend.

From

~

Near poverty

Hand to mouth

Week – to – week

Head down, meek

Get the check

From Dad

At the Friday night bar

~

To

~

$5-a-week-is-all-I-need-to-get-by

~

Then the prize!

$13k a year, plus benefits

Eureka!

~

Double down

Both earners now

Feels like the end of the rainbow

~

Long hours

Climbing ladders

Then give up a chunk

(Those three need me)

~

Economize

Live large on less

No largesse

Don’t need it

Integrity

Fidelity

Example for posterity

Plenty

We have plenty

Feel like a millionaire

It was accidental,

Their meeting

She, on the train to a better life

He was on his way home.

~

Seated next to the other

Conversation ensued

She smiled at just the right moments

He laughed when no other would.

~

What she left behind was oppression.

He, at home, had no one.

She considered indiscretion.

He thought “This could be fun.”

~

So they exited said train together

And walked arm and arm to the pub

Now, thirty years later

The two?  Still madly in love.

*Inspired by One Single Impression ~Accidental

 

Guess Where I'm Going This Spring?

Planning adventures

Delivers near the pleasure

That the big trip gives
