It's VIII VIII MMVIII the day of Good Luck

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Rate A Home

Today is 08.08.08 (2008) considered the date of good luck. It's reported that there will be over 9000 weddings in China alone today, with the belief that this is the luckiest day in history.

I'm wishing everyone a lucky day. Believe in luck or not, sometimes different things happen in one's life that has to be attributed to luck.

How about that person who has a 1 in 175,711,536 chance of winning the Lotto and they do. But then we hear about the same person who wins the Lotto twice, the odds are huge. Lucky?

Now take the agent in our office who seems to be the lucky one on floor time when a visitor walks in and is looking to relocate to your city. The buyer is looking to purchase a $500,000.00 house today. Their home is sold and cash in hand. Lucky?

The person who knows how to enjoy life, embrace it, takes in the beauty that has been bestowed upon us. Is that considered Lucky? Maybe, but we all have the opportunity to be who we are. Positive, funky, down, up, happy, sad, creative, out going, successful. I'd say we are Lucky to have these choices.

I feel I'm lucky to have found the special person in my life that I call my Wife (sometimes I call her My Bride). Lucky? Yes, and blessed.

VIII VIII MMVIII the day of Good Luck and I wish you the best! But in reality, every day can be your lucky day if you have life, love and laughter.

Carpe Diem, every day!

Well last year everyone was intrigued by 7-7-7 (lots of Vegas weddings I heard) - next year it'll be 9-9-9 (year of the cat maybe??), then 10-10-10, then 11-11-11, then 12-12-12, then what? Well we'll think of something else I'm sure. Today has been a lucky day for me though - picked up a new Relo contract!! Enjoyed the post!

Morning Duane,

I am of the opinion that we make our own luck, however it is also good to believe in something. The power of positive thinking is the key.

(What numbers came in on the lotto?) I don't play so I never think to check.

Duane - I consider myself a very lucky person, with all of the blessings that have been given to me.

However - Yesterday, I took the 8-8-8 thing seriously, went to one of our local casinos, lost my $20!

Virginia, LOL, sorry, that was my first response on the casino, argh. Thank goodness for the other blessings of friends, health and love that has been bestowed upon you, the $20.00 you can make back.
