Remember the Lady

Luck be thy lady tonight.

For she has graced my every step with mountains of sweet lullabies disguised as moments of sheer luck. How can I not be lucky when every time I rise I can touch someone who loves me, and someone who I love. What a fool to refuse luck when I can live in a household that brings a smile to my face everyday, and tears of joy when I need them the most. Please slap me, call me silly, when I don't remember the place I learn, filled with new and exciting experiences, and people I can honestly call true friends. Call me silly, if I ever forget my friends, the ones I talk to you, and the ones I can no longer reach. You see, often times we forget the luck in our lives. Do not be confused, because to be lucky, IS to be blessed.

Luck be thy lady tonight.

For I have seen my share of luck and I desire that all become aware of where they are, how they got there, and how things will work out. My future right now is more empty than the mind of an infant artist. That canvas that sits there waiting for this child to grow up, sits high on a pedestal trading margaritas with my future. They joke about the things I think about. They've already seen the painting. Yet here I am, asking if graduate school is the right choice. Here I am asking if I really want to comfort parents, or if I want to take the risk to be happy. Here I am. Here I am. And there they are, wishing that I would just sit back and focus on what was and what is. In what was, I will find a world filled with miracles. And in what is, I will find the hard work I need to do to fulfill what will be. Just focus.

Luck be thy lady tonight on this upcoming new year. Don't forget her.
