I was talking to my boyfriend how while I feel unlucky at times, like forces are working against me, I also usually feel pretty lucky at other times.
I was just thinking about how funny life can be,
and how more than ever I believe in the balance of good and bad that is essential to life, as the yin/yang nature of the universe is ever present.
Like the other day I was finally feeling better again (I had been sick) and I had a slight runny nose but was mentally clear and vibrant, had a good day at work- found a iPhone case in near mint condition on my way to work right outside CVS- and it was my favorite color too- lilac.
And then the next day I have that spell that shook up my boyfriend and I, leaving me feeling a bit out of it and weak for several hours.
I guess you have to take the good with the bad.
I was thinking back to other good events- they usually always are followed by negative event however minor (and possibly go unnoticed comparatively depending on how great the positive event is).
I have had things like this happen before to me.
Like when I need things and don't always have the money to get it, I find the things I need, just like the case of the iPhone case- when these things occur, I feel that perhaps my life is right on track afterall, because I was right where I needed to be at the right time- and the mysteries of the universe continue to amaze me. . ..

I just wish instead low level luck, I could have high level luck/good fortune, like landing a dream job of sorts or winning a lottery . . . .

What a thoughtful post, AngstyLady. I think many of us can relate - at least, I know I can! Instead of just 'luck' I like how you've phrased the universal see-saw 'the yin/yang' principle. I have spent more time than I'd like wondering if I am a lucky person, orrr...am I an an unlucky person? I much prefer the ying/yang energy concept instead of dwelling on whether I'm lucky or not lucky, which just seems so subjective and futile.
