What I Saw On My Walk Today... Luck


 “We are all a great deal luckier that we realize,
we usually get what we want – or near enough.”
Roald Dahl


Because I’ve been doing a daily five-mile hike for the past few months and have lost a little weight as a result, I bent down and picked up this penny today.

It got me thinking about luck. Oh, 2020 was a sh*t-show, to be sure, but I contemplated how lucky I’ve been to be able to work from home and dedicate a little time each day to my daily walking stint. I know there are so, so many folks who’ve had a much worse time of it.


When I look back on the past year, I think I’ll consider it a lucky, lucky time. My family’s been safe and sane (well, safe anyway…) and I got to spend a lot of extra time with my 80-year-old parents. 


Somebody smarter than me once said that the best luck we can hope for is to have the ability and determination to overcome bad luck. 


I feel lucky today.

And a penny richer.

  2. I do accept as true with all the concepts you’ve offered
    on your post. They are very convincing and can definitely work.
    Nonetheless, the posts are very quick for starters. May just you please lengthen them a bit from next time?
