What do you feel lucky about?

Need a beak from China, COVID, Politics,Brexit, SCOMO, Trump and all the rest of the argy bargy stuff around today. Just a good old fashioned "OFF" type thread starter. NO judgements or arguments. A question for every body to share. What is one, or a few things that you feel lucky about in your life?..Mine are simple. I feel lucky that I was born into my family. They are a mixed bunch. English, Australian and American. They are all great people and there's not one "bad egg". I feel lucky that I met the right person to spend my life with. And I feel lucky that I live where I do and that I have never had to put my life on the line to defend it like my father and uncles did. I feel lucky that I've made it this far when many people I have loved in my life haven't. How about you?

I feel lucky to be me and that I too have a gorgeous family. I'm lucky to have been born in Yorkshire too... I know we moan about the UK but I'm proud to be Yorkshire. I'm lucky to have found OFF too gosh I hope this forum never closes I would miss it so much if it did

Re: What do you feel lucky about?

Lots of things: I'm eternally grateful that I have survived several hazardous situations, that several other things did not turn out as bad as they could have, that I was only seriously ill as a young man and only now as an old man again with some carefree decades in between, that I witnessed the fall of the Iron Curtain enabling me to live in the world of the free, that I made the right major decisions at a crossroads, that I managed to feed and care for my family knowing that I'll leave them without having incurred any debts and that can hand down some nice assets.

16 years ago I moved into a new life on my own it was extremely hard as I'd never lived alone and had no family to turn to . I was very lonely and at many times completely lost in life and money was tight , I worked at 3 jobs for years to pay my bills It felt endless .

Time moved on and I became used to my own company and the loneliness and lost feelings slowly disappeared and 16 years on I can honestly say I'm lucky as I am happy alone and enjoy my own company , life is kinder and I am no longer afraid . I know I am ok .

My worst nightmare became my greatest gift

I don’t believe in luck........not being contentious, just voicing my honest opinion.

Re: What do you feel lucky about?

I once said to an elderly lady who was telling me about her life, how lucky she was.
She replied back, ‘Not lucky.... fortunate’.
