So far this day has been lucky.. it's not over yet.
I got a call from my girl friend of more than 30 years and she helped me move my things back in 2002 when I was moving to Egypt.
Today she brought back some items she took from when at that time.. a nice winter coat, leather boots and best of all my Native American CDS.. her husband is part Native American so I thought he would enjoy this music.
I was also getting my Ebay items organized for shipping and I couldn't believe my eyes… I found my favorite gold Earring which has been missing since Sept. 🙂 I thought I lost it outside while walking home and listening to my mp3 player.
It must have come out of my ear when I took my earphones out since it was under the table where I place the player.
Now I am just waiting for the call that my car is ready for pickup 🙂 then my day will be a LUCKY ONE.
PS… NO car today so I guess today wasn't a totally lucky one 🙁
:heart:

…beloved friend, Eve, if any one deserved a day that is a LUCKY ONE then it is you. May your days be forever fruitful all of your life, and may HOPE, who is now with you, never ever leave you again. I shall be watching you and will be your ‘invisible’ friend to whom you can always turn to, if that need ever arose again.Love, always.lokutus_prime
Lokutus,You don’t have to be invisible, I have written to you several times with no reply from you.You are a good friend to me and I value all friendships however, each friend is on a different level as you know since you have differnt friends than I have and I am sure they are on a differnt level with you as I am.thank you for your wishes of HOPE.:)Eve
Ahhh Eve,I think you will find that your life is now completely filled with what is happening to you. I am your friend -I always will be. I will never ever leave you. The ‘invisibility’ of which I spoke is a metaphor. Just as there is a time for Seasons, there is a time when a friend must ‘fall back’ a little, to allow someone’s Muse to work -for is that not the essence of a Muse, per se? Your Muse will take care of you and the intensity of such a relationship, already cemented will occupy much of your time. I do not mean that you will forget those who listened to you, spoke with you, gave time for you, but what you have now is clearly different and all other relationships will ‘stand in the background, ‘stand back a little’, so to say, and that is where ‘invisibility’ is assumed.Dear one, my poem contains the message that all of your friends will still be around. As to your writing to me without receiving any reply? I have checked my email and do not see where I might have ignored you, for I cannot see any messages there, although perhaps I have missed them, somehow. If you write to me – email, or message in the Opera system, I will never ignore you. I apologise if you perceived that I have done such a thing.Love, as always,lokutus
Congrats on finding the earrings! Only God knows how fun it is to find old favorite jewerly! :)Sarah
HI Sarah,The odd thing about losing it was I thought Ilost it outside as I walked home from work, I had asked the men fixing the side walks if they saw it. I asked in the Post Office since I took out my earplugs to let the PO lady here this song I was listening and she looked all over the PO for me as well.And here it was in the house all this time :)I was sooooooooooooohappy to find it since it is my most favorite pair.:) I like your santa icon Eve
HI unlisted,I would put the car in my driveway 🙂 I don’t want everything just want me car :)thanks for reading and posting.Eve 🙂
Yeah, Eve, that sounds like a pretty lucky day even though your car isn’t ready yet. Hey, you can’t have everything anyway. Where would ya put it?
a nice winter coat, leather boots and best of all my Native American CDS.. her husband is part Native American so I thought he would enjoy this music.This is a random tangent, but have you ever read much Native American literature? We get exposed to a lot of it here in New Mexico, with all the reservations around – and a lot of the famous Native American writers/artists (like Leslie Marmon Silko) come from here.I find the Native American outlook on things fascinating, as you might have noticed from a couple of blog posts where I mention it. I recently started reading Fools Crow, a fantastic novel written from the perspective of Native Americans in Montana in the late 1800s. The writing is absolutely amazing, and it is very refreshing to see things from the Native perspective. It was written by James Welch in 1987 (and he himself is Native American).What I like most about Fools Crow is how it tells the story from the Native viewpoint, but without sentimentalizing their situation as they face the encroaching white men. Welch manages to simply tell a great story, give lots of insight into Indian beliefs and life, and not portray the Native Americans as saintly, superior, or as tree-hugging naive children. It’s a very human story. :)Sorry, just felt like mentioning that for no particular reason… :spock:
HI T,Thank you for reading and sharing, no I have only read this book written by a Native American, http://my.opera.com/BriarDream/blog/I was once married to a man part N.A. and I learned a lot thru him and his family, hunting, nature and caring in a different way.I have also seen MANY movies related to the NA, Dances with Wolves, Last of the Mohegians, movies such as these.I can only explain the spirit of the NA as MAGICAL.. I am blessed to have experienced it.Your blog is so great and thanks for your constant friendship and baby sitting me :PloveEve
