A Stroke of Luck

"Better an ounce of luck than a pound of gold."

This story has nothing to do with fate or coincidence - just pure luck!

 

I just had to share this story because I had 2 incredible strokes of luck happen involving the same department store - Kohls.

About 6 months ago, I was shopping in Kohls. I went into a dressing room in the front of the store to try on a few outfits. As I went toward the back of the store, I found some other things I wanted to try and as I was ready to leave the 2nd dressing room, I noticed my pearl earring was missing from my left ear. I found the back post still stuck to my ear and looked around the room for the earring but to no avail.

I retraced my steps and my last stop was the first dressing room I had been in at the opposite end of the store. I entered the room and lo and behold, found my earring on the floor. I was so excited, not that the earrings were of any value but I'd had them since high school and knew I would never find another pair like them.

I completely forgot about this incident until today when my 2nd stroke of luck kicked in.....

I planned on running into Kohls real fast, before I headed to the Giant Supermarket. The stores were fairly close to each other so I parked near the Giant and walked over to Kohls. As I was walking, I put my grocery list in my left jean's pocket and did some shopping in Khols. I was probably in there for 1 hour and when I left I stopped to put my packages in my car.

As I left my car to run in the Giant, I put my hand in my pocket to get out my list. It was not there. I was certain I put it in my pocket. I double-checked my purse and I was wracking my brain as to the 10 items on my list. I could only remember 2 of them and it was useless shopping without my list. I walked towards the grocery store and looked over to the left, hoping against hope that I had dropped my list as I was putting it in my pocket. There was a white piece of paper laying on the ground and as I walked over and picked it up......Yes, it WAS my list!!!!!

How could I have been so lucky????? There is no explanation other than in both instances, my timing was perfect and I will leave it at that!!!
