This morning while walking from my car to my office a bird pooped on my hand. I've heard getting pooped on by a bird can be considered good luck. I can't imagine why this is something some people think, but evidently it is. Maybe there is something about the randomness of it? Maybe it's because it's a good thing cows can't fly? Who knows? Anyway, today ended up being a very good day.
This morning I got to work and my boss gave me 2 lbs. of my favorite coffee. He told me he was in Trader Joe's and he just thought of me and the fact that he knows I like TJ's coffee, so he bought it for me. Then I got a call from my girlfriend. She had the name of a family with real Christmas needs this year. There are four children and a mom and dad that are really hurting this year. My small group bible study is giving them Christmas from soup to nuts, and by soup to nuts I mean a decorated tree, gifts, Christmas dinner and groceries and heating oil for a month. There is just something about sharing the joy of the Christmas season with a family that really needs it. Both the mom and dad have been laid off work since the summer. (yeah, I know I'd love to get 99 weeks of unemployment, but I wouldn't want to lose my husband's pension. I know I'm blessed.) I found the perfect gift for my son, and I didn't even have to leave my desk. I was able to give someone exactly what they wanted for Christmas and it didn't even cost me a dime. Today APPL is up $10 and you know that's been a long time coming. One of my co-workers put in his resignation today. I don't know if I'll actually miss him, but he said he'll miss me. Then he gave me a giant bag of candy for the candy jar on my desk. My husband took me to my favorite restaurant for lunch and the special for lunch was my favorite, the seafood bisque. I haven't even reached the end of the work day and so far, it's been a great day. I can't wait to see what happens when I get home.
So if you're wondering if it's good luck if a bird poops on you, in my experience, it is.

721. Eggnog (but not too much)
722. My small group bible study (I know I've said this before, but they are the BEST)
723. Watching a big pine tree get cut down from my office window
