Prompt: Luck
Since it was St. Patrick's Day, yesterday, what do you think of the lucky Irish? Or if you wish, write your thoughts on the theme of luck and how it has played a role in your life.

I don’t really believe in luck. Having said that, I do believe that I’ve been fortunate throughout my life. Having parents who stayed together had a big part to play in my happiness as a child. My parents always loved each other dearly and having two people who love each other and who brought happiness to the household was good for the children of that marriage . Therefore I knew what a happy marriage looked like and consequently I’ve attempted to replicate my parents relationship and have a happy home.
It’s not always been easy though, we’ve had to work at marriage often. But our three kids all have said they’d had a happy childhood. Luck? I don’t know.
We both worked in the horse racing arena and gambling. The people we mixed with all took luck very seriously. But having seen the heartache gambling can bring we steered right away from it. Luck has nothing to do with winning or losing.
Health wise. I look around at other eighty year olds and think that maybe we both have been lucky. Although I’ve had more than my fair share of ill health and still do, we at least can go for a walk with the dog each morning.
Yes, I have seen people who seem to have terrible luck throughout their lives with all manner of things. Accidents, misfortunes from flooding or fires, illness etc. One does wonder why they seem to attract bad luck or is it simply a numbers game?
