So the other day I was talking to a friend, and we were complaining about this mess of a world we are in right now. The economy is down, money is tight, jobs scarce, we all know the feeling, right? Well, it was funny because that same day I got home from work and Chad told me he found something for me, a four leaf clover! (Now, to key you in, I have NEVER found a four leaf clover in my life, and always say how badly I want to.) I took that as a good sign, considering the day I had been having. Well, we kept it and put it in a book to dry. Then, a couple days later Aydin got the book to show it to my mom, and there were TWO in there! Chad was like, "oh yeah, I found another one," (like it was no big deal). So, now we have 2 four leaf clovers, and I'm thinking this is another good sign, but since Chad was so nonchalant about it I had to come back with "you know, it's cool and all, but I'd really like to find one myself". he he
Well, the next day I went outside to put my dog out, looked down, and guess what? I found one! Just right there, didn't even have to search. I was pretty excited. ;) That was 3 in one week, and I'm thinking we need to go to Wendover or something. But, it gets better...
About 2 days later, I'm talking to my mother-in-law on the phone and telling her how "lucky" we are, and all of a sudden I look down again and find ANOTHER one! So now we have 4 four leaf clovers, which has got to mean something, right? 4 clovers, each with 4 leaves and 4 members in our family. Hello... anyone have some lottery tickets? ;) Anyway, the reason for my long story is to say to all my friends out there, having hard times to keep your head up because things will get better. Love you all!
(MWAH!) :)

Wow...you are funny! Shoot some of that luck my way! ;)
Wow! I have never found a four leaf clover either and have always wanted to. As a kid I used to search for hours. Thanks for the insight... it is kind of scary these days, but we will get past it (until then, I will be searching for my 4 leaf clover)
That is very cool. I was working at Applebee's and (at the time was going through a divorce) I helped seat a family I was going to serve and their little girl handed me a four leaf clover. Her mom said she had a talent for finding them. I was really touched and took it as a good omen that despite my world crashing down on me that things would be ok. I still have it because I taped it to my name tag that day and it's a cool keepsake.
Youre right Nicole. Things are going to be just fine with the world. Things are changing, but I find it refreshing.
