“You’re so lucky” – your children are so well behaved, you and your husband have a great relationship, you get to work for yourself and take a day off whenever you want, you have exciting holidays, you’re so confident and happy. Am I painting the picture well enough here?  People look at my life and think I’m “lucky” and it takes all of my inner strength to contain myself.  You see, other than being able to have children and being healthy, I don’t believe in luck.  So my reply when I hear “you’re so lucky”?  “The harder you work, the luckier you get”.  This is often received with a confused look before the realisation of what I’m saying dawns.
