In what ways do you consider yourself lucky?

Question

BubbaSparkx · Accepted Answer

Not as much as lucky, but blessed and have favor; seeing as I am one of the "poor middle-class." I had one job nineteen years, back in 2005 working at a Grocery store as a Retail Store Association (Bagger/Stocker), that job lasted for all about four months;

some mysterious stuff behind it, an elderly man accused me of either making him forget his change or trying to take it when checking out his groceries, and one of my co-workers were talking down to me saying, "It's gonna be me and you." I was threatened, when I was just doing my job, I almost lost my temper, went into one of the store aisles to get a knife and nearly put it to his throat, saying, "It's gonna be me and you, alright let it be me and you, I'm not afraid of you, I can take you." That's what I imagined doing, but that would have cost me my job even further, as I was always running late forces beyond my control.

I considered myself to be blessed I could have been a goner in many situations in my life, when my mom and her mom were arguing and the fights were almost always physical, I thought my grandmother was gonna kill my mom and then me, because God instructed me to protective of my family even; protecting them from each other, when they'd get violent with one another. I was scared of my grandmother's occasional temper when she was in her lat 50's and early 60's, she'd take out a sledgehammer to prove her point, when someone didn't do what she wanted or go outside and cut a switch! Or get a knife out. She held back sometimes, Elderly people scare me when they age 60, they change and start getting strict.

I also, fell down the basement stairs of my grandmother's house at 1 year old, been in some fights against my own will, one where my family and I were fighting other relatives, then I was fighting at 10 with a boy who didn't like me at first, dealt with bullies in high school of course afraid to disagree with them. I busted my head a second time at 10, been in a car accident at 18, most recently got CoVID, the symptoms rather. I'm socially inept and I get taken advantage of, but that's okay. Because I know my maker will make snap judgements on my actions and the actions of others, my mouth usually shoots off venom, I'd be the "Instigator." After all that, I consider myself lucky.

What a great question Pauly.

That the amazing woman I'm married to chose to marry me. She just as easily could have said no and had her pick of men.

That I have four healthy, smart, kind children who not only love me and mom but are nice to us and still give us hugs and talk to us.

That while I'm not rich by any means, I can put gas in the car (and I have a car) and a roof over my head and food on the table.

That I have a job I like with colleagues who are smart, decent, and I enjoy working with and a boss who is thoughtful and a good leader.

All of this EASILY could have gone another way. Ways.

(And I've got a cat and coffee.)

Oh my goodness.

Despite of my mother's battling her own shit when I was growing up - she protected me. When my abuser got out of jail - she moved us to another country. - There's another luck, Denmark has no drinking age I began drinking heavily at 14, continued on/off with drugs until 24, I'm glad I'm just alive.

I've been lucky throughout my life to met people who cared, adults who listened and helped, even just for a short while. I was lucky I went to boarding school - I got a sense of normal. I'm lucky I live in Denmark - my education wasn't out of reach. I'm lucky I'm in a place where I've everything I need + more and able to help others who've less.

I could go on but well that's a little. I'm a grateful little thing. 😅

BeeNee · Answer

I am incredibly lucky to have the family I do, both immediate and extended. I hear all these sad stories from friends of non-stop fighting, and relatives that hate each other, but I've never had a bad holiday with family, never had to deal with negativity or toxicity, just love and support. My parents have always been there for me and have fought for me, and supported my education, and just continue to help me learn and grow in life. I'm lucky to have my best friend who is one of those really good human beings that makes you want to be a better person, always.

TheVigilantFox · Answer

I’m lucky that I had a wonderful nanny who looked after me when my parents didn’t want me, she brought me up from birth and gave me everything and helped me though everything, I’m lucky that she left me the house when she passed I’m lucky that I’ve got money to help pay for the house, bills and food, I’m lucky that I’m able bodied to do things around the house, I’m lucky that I have food, water, electricity and gas.

I’m lucky that I survived an abusive father and ex both abused me and made me want to commit suicide so I'm lucky that I got out alive.

I’m lucky that none of what’s going on in the world effects me (I do feel sorry for those it does effect) I suppose I'm lucky in lots of ways really.

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

I’m fortunate, but definitely not lucky. There are moments and events in my history that could have landed me in prison, or dead. Worse, i could have seriously hurt or killed someone else.
I’m fortunate also that more people haven’t abandoned me for a variety of reasons. I realize that i’m an acquired taste and i’m grateful for the people who have stuck around to acquire it. Ell oh ell!

Lionman95 · Answer

The family I was born, the place and people I grew up with. I come from a country where there hasn´t been war in decades. There are so many circumstances that could have been way worse than my current ones that I don´t know really for where to start the list what I´m grateful for.

whereismyjohnny · Answer

I consider myself lucky for being alive, surrounded by good people (friends and family), having a place to live and food on the table, having free education, living in a safe country, the list goes on.

I think there are so many things that we should be grateful for and feel lucky about, but we often take them for granted.

petitedollbabee · Answer

I consider myself lucky to have my mums side of the family around. We’re very close, we all have dinner together every Wednesday night, and we’re always happy to help each other.

I also consider myself lucky to have a great small circle of friends, who understand me and accept me for who I am.

And I also consider myself lucky for having an amazing partner to live with and share my life with.

lightbulb27 · Answer

I found a good wife after 49 years. As they say, it isn't easy finding a diamond... let alone, the the purest kind.

I'm still breathing after getting kicked by covid and flu and so many other things, like quick surgery and accidents that could have ended me fast.

I found Christ which gave me renewed life, I'll take that good fortune.

I've had a good life and family... all considered, I'm fortunate... for many others have not been, just by luck of the draw.

I'm lucky in that I had very loving parents and grandparents who taught me to be kind to others. I'm lucky, and unlucky also, because I was the only child of two only children so I was the sole heir of two families.
