This past Sunday was Mother's Day and as I thought about my Mother, it reminded me of the very first time I really felt that feeling of being Lucky, of being in flow and of being a winner.
I was about 9 years old, maybe 10, and I had saved enough money to buy my Mom some flowers for Mother's Day. So the day before, my Dad took me to a local grocery store called the B & B Food Market. My Dad said I could go in on my own and do my shopping and that he would wait in the car. Which really made me feel good at that age, like I was all grown up.
Every year B & B would get lots of flowers and plants so I went in and straight to the nursery section. I picked out some pretty purple pansies, as purple was my Mom's favorite color, and feeling quite happy with my choice, I went up to the registers to pay.
When the sales lady rang me up, she suddenly declared, "You're a winner, you've won! You have a red star on your receipt!".
Apparently the B & B Food Market was celebrating their anniversary and giving away prizes. Imagine my surprise and delight to be taken over to a large shopping buggy filled to the brim and told it was all mine!
I could hardly push it out the door and across the parking lot to the car but I was on cloud nine. I felt like the luckiest girl in the world. Not only had I gotten my Mom some lovely flowers but I won a whole shopping cart full of groceries for my family.
I was so thrilled pushing that cart to the car and seeing the look of surprise on my Dad's face, and his joy and excitement for me when I told him, I'm a winner! I won it! We had so much fun discovering what all was in that cart. I felt so happy!
Even now, I can still feel that feeling of joy and of being lucky.
Here's to your Lucky Life!
Lucky Lady Kathleen
