A Mother-in-Law’s Redemption

did. It changed my thoughts, I had chances to succeed, which happened.

Years ago my family and I went to Niagara Falls, Canadian side, as we were walking I looked down and saw $20.00 on the ground. I picked it up , said to my husband ” look I found a $20 ” there happen to be 2 young girls with in hearing distance. They looked at each other, looked up and said ” if we would of found it we would eat today ”
I walked up to them handed then $ 20. over. I watched them walk away. I thought they would just go and do something drug related. But, they walked to the nearest restaurant and had a warm dinner. They needed it more than I did

• My mother gave me a very nice necklace. One morning I went to scratch my neck and I didn’t feel it. I guess I didn’t put the latch on properly, and it fell off, so I got super bummed out because it was really nice.
  A few hours later, I found it in my shoe. It fell down my shirt, down my pants (with a belt), and into my left shoe, which had been tightly laced.
• Applied for a job that was way out of my league and the pay was more than twice what I was making at the time, and included pension, full benefits, all that good stuff. I showed up quite early for the interview, and had some time to kill, so I sat in the lobby reading some industry magazines.
  One article was about the top 10 threats to this industry, which I made a point of reading and soaking in as much as I could. Eventually I get called into the interview, and everything is going okay for the most part. This industry and role are both new to me, and I think it may have shown during the interview as a weak spot, but then I get asked, “What do you see as potential issues within our industry/business.”
  I was so excited I almost jumped out of the seat, and went off in great detail about everything I had just learned. The interviewers were very impressed, and little did they know that had I been asked that exact same question just 30 minutes earlier, I would have had nearly nothing to say. I got the job.
• Today, when I went outside, I immediately noticed an old lady who was calling for someone. I approached her, “Hello, have you lost someone?” “Yes, my dog. Her name is Lina.” Well, how could I not help?
  The 2 of us walked around the area, but couldn’t find the dog. I offered to print and place posters. We went upstairs, she gave me a photo of the dog and I went to the copy center. I put up posters on every doorway, and then I heard barking behind me — that’s when Lina was found, I guess she saw the poster that she was lost.

• My husband and I were on a plane, and we were given the aisle seats in the middle part of 5 seats, and also in different rows. Well, it’s a 4-hour flight, we’ll get by without each other. Then a guy from my husband’s row comes up to me and asks to change seats. I agree, we sit separately anyway, what’s the difference.
  So, my husband is on the outer left side now, and I am on the right side. There are 3 empty seats between us. And you know what? Nobody was seated in them! So, we raised the armrests and lied down there, just the two of us!
• Found £160 in cash on a river bank, while I was discussing how I was too broke to afford a festival ticket with my girlfriend at the time. No idea how it got on the river bank, far away from the town. River bank is the wrong kind of bank to deposit your cash.
• One day I decided to do a general clean-up in the attic and found a box of my childhood stuff. Among them was an old photo album. Leafing through its pages, I saw a picture of my best friend from kindergarten and me holding hands and laughing. We had long lost touch, but the memories of those days gave me warm feelings.
  I decided to find her through social media, and I did! We texted and agreed to meet at a cafe. When I saw her at the table, we both couldn’t help ourselves and cried with joy. We talked for hours on end, reminiscing about our childhood and discussing our current lives.
  It turned out that we still had a lot in common! So now we communicate and see each other regularly, just like in the good old days. You can’t imagine how happy this makes me feel.

• 2 months before the wedding, I found out that I couldn’t get pregnant for medical reasons. My husband wanted children. I honestly said: either we break up or never reproach me with this, it’s not my fault. He said he loved me and we’d manage.
  But he reproached me every time we quarreled. I forgave him. Then a lot of bad things happened, so I left.
  And then it turned out that my doctor with a degree was just earning money on me. It’s bad enough, but I’m glad I didn’t have a child with my ex-husband. It’s fate.
• My son was 6 months old and needed a liter of milk every day. But the allowance was barely enough to live on. I’m walking, thinking about it. Suddenly, a bloke comes up to me:
  — Hi! Aren’t you scared to walk alone at night?
  — No.
  — I’ll still walk you home!
  I condescendingly said nothing.
  — Why are you in such a hurry? Is your husband waiting?
  — A baby.
  — A baby?
  — Yes.
  — Do you feed it with your own milk or cow’s milk?
  — Cow’s milk.
  — Oh, I deliver milk from the countryside. It’s not skimmed yet, for the factory. I’ll bring it to you. It’s better than shop milk. Just boil it.
  — How much a liter?
  — Nothing.
  The next morning, he did leave a jar of milk on my doorstep. It went on like this for 3 months. He never once came into the house, not even for a cup of tea.
  And at the beginning of April, I got a job in the editorial office of a magazine, they paid me in advance. And the next morning, there was no milk on my doorstep. My milkman disappeared. Melted away like spring snow.

But sometimes we run out of luck quite unexpectedly. For example, these people lost their luck on their first working day.
