Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
I think my good luck/fate/destiny in life far outweighs my bad luck.
If my Mum had never left Oz, she wouldn't have met my Dad, and I would never have existed so you wouldn't be seeing this drivel I'm typing now.
If a careers adviser at the local education office in Doncaster hadn't told me to apply for college, I might have gone down the mines instead of getting a job that lasted forty three years, and an adequate pension beyond.
I learned a long time ago it was pointless me buying raffle and lottery tickets. I just don't win anything worthwhile.
I fell out of a tree when I was seven and broke my arm, not my neck.
I've survived being hit by cars as pedestrian, cyclist, and motorcyclist, suffering nothing worse than sore knees.
I've escaped from a burning building, and survived no end of redundancy scares.
Severe heart failure was missed the first time round, but caught by accident a year later. I now have a 30 grand pacemaker in my chest, and a severely changed lifestyle, but I'm still ticking.
The most important piece of good fortune in my humbled o'pinion though is where lurve is concerned. It far outweighs any other piece of luck, both good or bad.
I thank the Goddess of the White, or whoever it is that runs the puniverse for that, and forgive everything else bad that has ever happened to me.
