I Won! I Won!

I WON, I WON, I WON!!

I am persistent.  I fill out coupons, call radio shows, enter sweepstakes.  I am a sucker for any box that says "Win a free...whatever".  All I usually win is junk mail.

So of course when I heard Julie on WYNE offer a 20.00 coupon book to the third caller, I gave it a shot.

I was caller number one....

I was caller number two.... WYNE is on speed-dial.

When the Captain answered the phone the third time, I found myself holding my breath.  Caller number three!! You'd think I had won a million bucks.  The point was, I had won SOMETHING!

My luck leaves a lot to be desired for the most part.  I am caller four instead of five.  Number thirteen instead of fourteen at roulette--for over an hour.  Two numbers out of three on the lottery.  You get it?  I am relentless in my pursuit of winning SOMETHING.  I keep slugging away.

On the other hand, I believe that luck doesn't just happen. Much of it is our own doing.  We can make our luck better by our actions.  Pro-active, that's the key.

I was born in (insert year here), the year of the Rabbit in Chinese astrology.  Since 2011 is also the year of the Rabbit, this is supposed to be an exceptionally fortunate year for us Rabbits.  The closer it gets to my birthday in July, the better my luck is supposed to be.  (I accept gifts. Jewelry will do nicely. No rabbits, please.)  I anticipate a very good year.

Guess I should buy a lottery ticket.
