Get Lucky

here

Do you believe in luck? 

I don't ascribe much to luck, really.

 I certainly have had a lot of great things happen in my life, but lucky to me refers to the less meaningful and yet most impressive things. Winning the jackpot at a casino - that floors me. We have a friend who's won so often, she half expects it.  My dad's buddy Bill  finds four-leaf clovers ALL THE TIME. He's running out of space to keep them.

That stuff is lucky. The other good things are something else - fate maybe?

But yet, on certain days and special occasions, I like to have something lucky. 

For me, it's a lucky pair of earrings - I don't know why they're lucky, I think they just morphed from "favorite" into "lucky." But it makes me feel better to wear them on days when I need an extra little kick of good karma. 

Tomorrow, I'll be wearing my little good luck charms. Hope you have a lucky end of the week as well!

SPRING!!!

Spring is here! Gauging by the weather, it's been here for several days now but who's complaining? The change in season always makes some changes in life - less gloomy, moody days and more time for fun! This spring I want to:

Inject some new-growth colors in my house, like a pollen or bright bright green...

And sweeten the air with these!

 I'll read every day on the porch 

(currently loving Lisa See's "Shanghai Girls and "That Might Be Useful" by Naton Leslie)...

 

while sipping these!

Pineapple Limeade, from here.

Do stuff with my hair, like this maiden's braid ...

and when I give up, throw on one of these...

I'll wear turquoise as much as possible...

and always have my toes out!

Happy Spring!!
