Lucky Me

I'm pretty sure that I  am one of the luckiest people ever. Things seem to just work out for me. I was reminded of this when I got my LSAT score, which was higher than expected! Thanks everyone for your help, love and support, in the LSAT studying process. But, I was reminded of that time right after high school graduation when I totaled my parent's car.
I know, totaling a car is not considered lucky. Especially when it happens on the highway, right? But the circumstances could not have been better. I wasn't in a car accident, just ran out of oil. And so the car started turning off. But I could still steer and use my brakes (no longer powered, but still effective). And so we were half a mile from the exit we were taking and the car can no longer accelerate, but I needed to slow down, not speed up. It was perfect. I got to the end of the exit ramp and came to a complete stop. And couldn't move from there. So, we moved the car into a parking lot beside the exit. Did I mention that I was with 6 other able-bodied people, and another car? So, moving the car wasn't even that tough. And the restaurant, our destination, was just on the other side of the exit. So I called my parents, and we ate Mexican food. Moral of the story, luckiest car being totaled situation ever.
Now, I am told that getting your first parking ticket is a right of passage for Philadelphians. And so I had to get my first ticket, and I did. Now, I did let the meter expire for a little while, and kind of expected a ticket. So, when I got back to my car I was not surprised to find a ticket on my windshield. So, I took it and looked at it and noticed that the time that it was recorded was during the time that i had paid for. In Philadelphia the meters print a small receipt that you post in your windshield. So, I had proof that I had paid during that time. Thus I am contesting the ticket.
So, as long as I have to endure bad things: broken down cars, parking tickets, 7 hour standardized tests, I seem to get the best possible version of it. Thus I am super lucky.
Not only am I lucky when bad things happen, but I am lucky with all the good things I have been blessed with and great people I have been blessed to know.
