So, most of you know that Matthew and myself have been having a loooong run of not so nice luck over the last few years... it seems that everything went downhill after my Mom passed away 5 1/2 years ago (Matthew and I were just talking about that yesterday). Well yesterday morning I was sitting here at the computer, looking out the window at what a nice afternoon it turned out to be and thinking that I was sick and tired of things not being so wonderful for us. I thought that along with us both (yes, me too even though my doctor has told me I shouldn't because of my health, but we do what we need to do) trying to find some kind of work, that maybe if I try to be even more positive and upbeat than I already am (most people who know me in person think I am one of the most positive and upbeat people they know, in spite of all the crap we've been through)... that good and positive energy can't help but be drawn to us... right? Sounds good anyway! ;o)
So... later in the day I was in need of the small hand-held mirror to try to see something that was in a "blind spot" that I just couldn't see without it, and when I looked in the drawer, it wasn't there. Matthew had taken it to another room, so he brought it to me. I used it to see what I needed to see, then put it on the counter while I was doing something else, instead of putting it directly into the drawer where it belonged... and as I turned away I heard this loud noise. I looked back to see that the mirror (it's one of those two mirror things that close) was no longer on the counter, but had fallen onto the floor. I picked it up and slowly opened it, just as Matthew came around the corner to find out what the sound was (he thought I had hurt myself).... sure enough, one of the two mirrors inside was shattered. *sigh* Seven more years of bad luck!!!
Matthew said "Oh great, just what we need, MORE bad luck!" I told him not to worry about it, because HE hadn't broken it, I had... and he said "Yeah, but I live here too. So whatever affects you, affects me too!" ;o)
I had $2.00 in my pocket (we have a little more put away to last for the rest of the month), so I went to the corner store where I bought a lottery ticket. Then I told the girl I bought it from that I had broken a mirror and was out to prove that superstition wrong. LOL She had a good laugh and wished me luck with proving it wrong, but told me if I did win big not to go around breaking all the mirrors. hehehe Didn't win anything at all on that ticket, but I came to the decision that *I* hadn't broken the mirror anyway. It was out of my hands when it fell off the counter, and it wasn't like it was on the floor and I stepped on it... so I actually had no direct contact with the mirror when it broke, so if there *is* anything to the "seven years back luck" superstition... it shouldn't count this time. Hey, that's my theory on it anyway. If however, there is anything to the superstition... I have a thought on that too... since we've been having so much bad luck over the last few years, perhaps the breaking of the mirror will BREAK that run of bad luck. Afterall, it's time for a change, it's time to break that run of bad luck! ;o)
So back to my original thoughts of yesterday morning... keeping even *more* positive and upbeat than I already am, in the hopes of drawing good and positive energy from the universe. One way or the other, things have to change... and soon!
