It hasn’t been a great year. And, that is an understatement. Yes, one needs love and hugs for a good life. A sense of purpose is extremely important to guide one in life to reach that goal of a good life.

As one goes through life, I’ve come to understand that a dose of good luck is also useful. Good luck can be random. However, good luck can also be activated, catalyzed, or given a push.

Today, I got two small signs of good luck. Fingers crossed that they are prophetic. I came across a few ladybugs today as I was weeding. I left them to go on their merry way. I made a few wishes as I worked around them.

Then, while walking the dog, I saw a coin on the street. A few weeks ago, I noticed that no one picked up a shiny penny that was on the ground. I remember when one would pick up a penny for good luck. Now, no one paid heed to the penny. I, myself, didn’t pay attention to it. Today, however, I picked up this grimy dime. My hope is that the dime, alongside the ladybugs, will bring some luck to me the next few weeks as I will need it.
