Friday Five for January 9 – The Lucky Ones
Posted January 9th, 2009 by Kimberly DowdHow better to jumpstart my bloggy brain and put off my freelance work than to do the Friday Five!
1. Among people you know, who seems to be lucky in love?
Me, actually. I’ve dated great guys through the years, and even though my marriage ended, it was mature and amicable. (Although I haven’t heard from BvP in a while…hope he’s OK.) And WM and I found each other and what we have is fantastic. So yeah. me.
2. Among people you know, who seems to be lucky with money?
I don’t currently know anyone who’s lucky with money. I know people who appear to be rolling in cash even though their salaries don’t seem like they’d be high enough for that standard of living. Then again, they could be charging everything.
3. Among people you know, who’s lucky to be alive?
I don’t really blog intimately about people who aren’t me. So I’ll go with my dog, Max. He was a stray dog who had been abused by his former owners when the shelter found him. I adopted him in 2003, and he thanked me by biting me twice – HARD – about a month later. If I brought him back to the shelter, he’d probably have been euthanized. So I stuck it out and showered him with love and won his trust. So yeah, dog, you’re lucky to be alive.
4. Among people you know, who seems to have the worst luck?
Geez, Mr. Friday Five! Are you trying to get me in trouble by dishing dirt? Someone I worked with years ago used to get sick all the time. Not just garden-variety colds, but organ infections and blood problems and all sorts of weird stuff. This person never caught a break.
5. What kinds of good-luck charms do you own or carry?
I’m starting not to believe in luck. I believe that the good things that happen to me are blessings. My good luck charm is my faith.
Whoa, that got deep!
Have a great weekend!

Thanks for visiting my blog. I wrote a piece some months ago that talked about how some of my friends and people I know had beauty luck, some money luck, some love luck, etc. I didn’t write about bad luck but I do know some people who’ve had an accumulation of woes throughout their lives. I don’t know if it’s because their oriented toward the negative or if the woes have made them oriented that way.
I’m feeling lucky to be alive and kicking!

good for you being lucky with love. i’m staying away from all that mess for quite a while. 2 weeks will probably be good enough (kidding!).
