Lucky

 This week's topic, Lucky.

My first thought was my parent's photo from Fri. the 13th.

Clipping says: "When Mataley Munhall and George E. Rogers walked into county clerk's office for marriage license Friday they didn't know it was the dire Friday 13. Told of the date, they hesitated not one whit, flaunting the age old superstitions. Wedding is set for November 21."

They did marry on Nov 21, 1936. They had a nice long marriage of 49 years, with Daddy dying at 70 in January of the year they would have celebrated their golden wedding anniversary. But actually, they weren't into celebrations that much. They just had their own interests, and of course loved their grandchildren...though they seldom saw my children.

I believe I've had a pretty lucky life. I've made some really risky choices, but they came out alright in the end. And I've also made some fantastic choices. No further information here. I just feel pretty lucky.

I've been trying to find the Buckminster Fuller quote about "not having to have a job, because the universe will support those who are working to further the needs of the universe," or something close to that. I've ordered the book Critical Path where I think he says that idea. (He does say the universe is supported by people who stand up as individuals and speak the truth. Pretty good that.)
