How to feel lucky

Another sunny cool morning, another mile and a third.

I read a great article yesterday in one of the national newspapers on how to be lucky.

This proved very useful to me today when a large oil tanker, which I had thought was parked, plowed into the side of my car while I was waiting to get round a van who was blocking my route on a petrol station forecourt.

After I climbed out of the passenger side door (mine was no longer able to open more than a few inches), I thought that I could easily feel very unlucky at that point in time, or I could choose to feel lucky that the accident wasn't much worse, particularly if it had taken place on a fast moving road.

I chose to feel lucky, and you know, it worked!
