My friend Tani recently shared the story that her two sons, when they were young, had a wonderful ritual. When they came across two cherries connected with a single stem, they would hold them up and shout, "I am grateful and lucky!"
Tani recently bought herself a necklace with a two-cherry pendant on it to remind herself that she is truly grateful and lucky.
I wrote her that her sons' shouts reminded me of Sam, my youngest, when he would have an unexpected surprise, such as finding a penny in a parking lot. He would burst out with a joyful "Is this my lucky day or what?" as he danced up and down in glee.
Grateful and lucky. Both Tani and I have had a heaping serving of health concerns lately, so her words resonated with me.
In picking tomatoes (yes, they are finally ripening), I found this when I turned them out to wash:
I am grateful and lucky! Is this my lucky day or what?
