Well.......time for another daily dose of brainfart from Mr Touchy Feely! I am actually feeling pretty positive this afternoon, must be the weekend getting closer and the sun hitting my desk. Maybe it's all the smarties I swallowed half an hour ago, they do strange things to me. Regardless, I am one happy cookie :O)
I have been thinking today about a lot of the ups and downs I have been having lately, I guess my 365 has a lot to do with it. It occured to me I should probably do less complaining, and sit back and appreciate what I have for a change. I have the perfect wife. I have an adorable and clever son. I have a family that would move heaven and earth to protect me. I have true friends who share common interests and goals. I have good health. These things are priceless, and I am the luckiest man alive to have this collection of gifts.
The trouble is, I did not earn this box of goodies, not one bit! I did not work for it, I did not look for it, and I did not ask for it. In fact I have often tried to push it away, abuse it, take it for granted, all too often. And no matter how hard I poke fun at fate, and dare it to take it all away, my box of goodies remains intact, not even a scratch on it. It's clear to me that an external force is watching my back. Luck and luck alone has handed it all to me on a plate, and you know what? It doesn't want it back. I have in the past told myself, no such thing as fate, you make your own luck in life, and nothing is certain. b****x the lot of it. Without luck, I would be doomed.
The simple fact is, I should not be sitting here typing this. I should be shooting junk into my veins in a dark alley somewhere. I should be spending my days in prison. I should be begging on the local high street with no hopes or dreams. I should be a psychotic ******** with a thirst for violence. Yet, something has protected me, kept me on the straight and narrow, and guided me through the darkest days time and time again. More on that later.
Going forward with my 365, I will no doubt touch on the ways in which Luck has held my hand, watched my back, and kept the demons at bay. I have a million stories to tell, and everyone of them a happy ending. I can't wait to get started, going to be fun!
Today, I feel like the luckiest man alive.
Gary.
