Today we are going to Muse about luck. If this is your first visit, welcome to Musings. If you have been here before, welcome back. Over time we are going to talk about many things: the past, the present, perhaps the future, travel, art, society and more. Wherever my musing takes me. I hope you will come along with me.

Wow. Sometimes we are just lucky.
While we were in Mexico, Jeanette and I were invited to a party, a birthday celebration, held downtown in a restaurant, appropriately called The Restaurant. It was “burger night”!
We were a group of ten, two guys and eight women. The conversation was lively and the margaritas fueled the evening. The burger was pretty good too.
Eventually the festivity wore down and it was time to toddle home. We grabbed a taxi just as it began to rain. Thunder and lightning. KaBLAM! KaBLAM! And torrents of rain.
The taxi inched its way through the narrow streets which were running curb to curb with water. The windshield wipers could not clear the water it came so hard and fast. Our driver could barely see the road.
Our house was located next to a park on a one way street that goes up-hill away from the main city streets. When we finally got to the house the street was a river six inches deep running curb to curb with the downhill run off. The rain was sheeting down. I was soaking wet standing in the rain while I paid the driver. I ran to the front entry fumbling for the key. Open finally, I stepped into the courtyard. Jeanette came flying in. I closed the door.
Then Jeanette shouted,
“My purse! I left my purse in the taxi!”
What! Her phone, drivers license, money and Filofax of contacts all in her purse.
I ran out to the street and saw the taxi slowly disappear up the street through the rain. Oh _ _ _ _! Big problem.
On the opposite side of the park there is a one way street running back down to the city center. I took the chance that the taxi would take that road out of our neighborhood and I ran through the park in the downpour. As I reached the street I saw headlights coming toward me. It was raining so hard I could no tell if it was the taxi or not, but I stood in the middle of the lane and it came to a stop.
Yes! Our taxi.
Laying on the back seat was the purse.
Sometimes we are just lucky
