unexpected

I've never found a four leaf clover in my life. I did, one time, find a store in some shopping center selling these "lucky clovers" in pendants, paper weights, bracelents and the likes. The man told me that he has sold many such clovers and it has all brought the buyers luck.

Question: If these clovers were so lucky, why was he still stranded in some obscure corner of a shopping bazzaar. Come one, with the number of clovers he had around him, he should be the luckiest darn person in the world!

In any case, its been a week of fortunate- surprising, but nice- events for me. Two old friends whom I've not met up with of chatted with in over nine months called me out of the blue. To be more accurate, one was due to a mutual friend who called and asked me the perenial tough-to-answer question: "guess who I'm with right now?" I didn't guess correctly but spent some happy minutes catching up with the mystery guest in question. The second was a straight out, blast from the past phone call of new beginnings and old endings; of invitations and closures: I'm glad you found your peace.

Either ways, I wish both of them well, both seem to have journeyed significantly in the last nine months and are in a much better place right now. Wish them both well. Seems many of us have walked quite a fair ways this last year.
