I went til about noon today before my cousin told me she thinks Friday the 13th is a lucky day.
I tend to agree with her logic.
We had just pulled out of a parking lot of a dentist office where she dropped off an application for a job. In the last two weeks, she has hand-delivered her resume to at least 35 dentist offices.
And then her phone rang.
It was a dentist who lives less than 2 miles from our house. He wants her to come for an interview on Monday. If he hires her, he will undoubtedly be the luckiest dentist on earth. She is a real joy and we are lucky to have her with us as she transitions into a new life away from where she was born and raised.
And the luck doesn't end there. We are headed to a company luau and dance tonight.
Lucky Friday the 13th. I hope it was for you, too!
love, susan
It was lucky for me too! I asked for the afternoon off to work in the yard and was told I did not need to submit a leave slip!!

ReplyDeleteThat's FABULOUS Kathy! I long for those days when supervisors had the good sense to do things like that. It keeps us worker bees soooooo happy!
DeleteI hope you had sunshine too! Love it!!
Yes! I didn't know today was the 13 until now. I had a fistful of challenging moments today and I talked myself through them. I refused to give up my joy. And it worked. Then there was mail. A great, bulging envelope with photos, and some of the loveliest words written and addressed to me were tucked on top. One of the postcards was in such a hurry it tumbled out and onto the floor. Photos are from Pete. :)
ReplyDeleteSending positive thoughts your cousin's way. Hope you had a great 24/7.
Ahhhh ... he sent you photos? That's sooooo nice! He's a great guy!!! He's a fellow photographer, among other things.
DeleteFor me, Friday the 13th was a day full of hard work but a beautiful day ! My husband invited some of his ex-co workers for dinner. I cleaned the house , cooked , mopped the floor and washed the dishes . The guests loved my cooking and we had such a wonderful conversation - both before and after dinner - it was great !
ReplyDeleteI am happy that your cousin is going to start a new life soon, all the best to her.
BTW, the guest that we had invited, the wife of one guest is a dentist too !
I love dinner with friends. I NEVER turn down an invitation to someone else's house for dinner and this year I made a resolution to have more dinner parties at my place.
DeleteThere are a LOT of dentists in this area so I'm sure if she's not offered this job it will just be a matter of time before she finds someplace to fit in.
Thanks for following me!!
