I know I'm lucky to sit near Mike McGinley!

I was catching up on some much needed rest Saturday afternoon when I received a very pleasant phone call. I won the massage raffle at the Meadows Nursing Center Auxiliary’s Annual Market on the Pond that was held Saturday.

I’m not the luckiest person in life and love. But when it comes to contests, watch out. I’m the girl who puts in one raffle ticket and wins when you spent $30 in chances.

As a kindergartener, I was a runner-up in a Sesame Street contest through WVIA-TV. In first-grade, I took first place in a JcPenney’s contest and won a Power Wheels Jeep. Since then, I’ve won many concert tickets, instant bingo games and miscellaneous prizes.

And on the occasional visit to the casino, my friends usually get jealous because I always end up with more money than I initially had (although once I win even the smallest amount of money, I cash out).

What do you think? Is there such a thing called luck? If so, how do you experience it? My friend Sarah believes she goes through stages. She feels lucky for weeks at a time and then she will have stages of bad luck or normalcy. I believe my luck balances out among unlucky times and events.

Tomorrow morning I’ll be in the Back Mountain doing our weekly “Man on the Street” feature. Maybe if you’re lucky, I will choose you. I’m also going to pick up my massage certificate and schedule the appointment. I’ll let you know how the massage goes.
