Even a cursory look at the history of the Irish people will tell you that the luck of the Irish is very bad luck indeed. But when you can take pride and joy in who you are, in spite of whatever comes, then you have created your own kind of luck.
What makes you feel lucky to be you?
Being born and raised in a middle class family in a quiet, safe neighborhood in a free and highly developed country. Pure luck that.
How true, Eric! Me, too.
Even though I never expected to live the life that I have, sometimes thinking that I was missing out on important things, looking back I can see that I was “lucky” to receive the opportunities that came along . Those are the gifts of life, I believe. Some people live a planned life; others find their luck wherever it lies.
