As WordPress continues to recycle old prompts, I pulled another prompt from The Coffee Monsterz Co to respond to today
What do you feel lucky about?
I don’t know that I would consider myself. “lucky” per se. I don’t win lottery. I don’t win raffles. When it comes to gambling, I cannot call the activity I partake in gambling; by it’s very definition, gambling suggest that there is an actual chance of winning and I never do.
But I would go as far as to say that I am fortunate. In a lot of ways, I think I’ve lived a charmed life. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been through my share of ups and downs. However, I hear about some of the experiences that other people have had, and I haven’t gone through some of the things that my peers aren’t even strangers have experienced. But the answer to these prompt, I feel lucky about life in general. 
That’s not to say that everything always goes my way. In fact, over the years I’ve kind of resigned myself to “Rob luck“. It’s not the worst thing in the world. But for the most part, I do feel like life has been pretty good to me. Maybe the best comparison would be to consider myself “even Steven“ just as Kramer calls Jerry, in my all-time favorite Seinfeld episode “the opposite“. .
So does that make me lucky? Yeah I guess so. I don’t have everything but at the same time, I know there are so many people in the world who are in situations far worse worse than I am.
When I was younger, and I would hear people say things like “I have my health“ I had no idea what they really meant by that. I guess I take health or even a sense of homeostasis so much for granted I don’t even realize how good it is to have just that. When I look at my boys, and I see that they are happy, healthy and well provided for. Beyond that, most other stuff in my life is just gravy.
