Happy It’s Good Luck Day!

When I was a full-time wedding officiant, I would tell my couples that whatever was happening was good luck.

Rain on your wedding day? It’s good luck!

Forget your wedding license? That’s good luck!

Wine on your mother’s family photo dress? Good luck, too!

I would say, “Everything that happens on your wedding day is good luck.” Smiles broke through their stress every time. Yes, I was applying humor to a high stakes moment, and there’s also truth to it.

To the degree that luck is an attitude, when things are not going as expected, we can choose to pick our heads up ready for glory versus give up.

My friend Susan Porter, a brilliant book artist, says, “Something good always comes out of something bad.”

People met and fell in love sharing taxis with strangers during Hurricane Sandy in New York City.

People survived 9/11 in New York City because their cars broke down, they missed trains, got sick, overslept, and more.

Luck is in the little things every day, too.

Uneven haircut? It’s good luck to go bold and change styles, live out a new part of ourselves.

Hot soup arrived cold? It’s good luck to send it back, good luck to ask for what you really want.

What do you declare is good luck today?
