What makes you feel lucky?

What makes you feel lucky? Does carrying around a memorable token, your family, your health, or just life in general make you feel lucky?  Redbox just released a new program called Redbox Lucky to Have Friends Like You promotion and in conjunction with that promotion I have been asked what makes me feel lucky?

I feel I am lucky to have my faith and experienced motherhood, have two beautiful children and a wonderful spouse.   When my spouse and I decided it was time to try and have a baby, we  shockingly got pregnant the first month!  We did  everything right, made the first appointment, went to the doctor, got prenatal vitamins, etc.   Unfortunately when I was 11 weeks along, I suffered a miscarriage. At that point in my life, I felt so lost and confused.  We continued to try and get pregnant and I struggled with my faith (I had never been to church prior to meeting my husband). Six months after my miscarriage, I was baptized and became a member of the church we were attending.  Two days prior to my baptism we found out I was pregnant with our daughter Paige.  When Paige was 9 months old, we became pregnant with our son Noah.   It was a rough pregnancy, I was hospitalized multiple times, had to see a specialists, etc.    We were prepared for the worse, we were giving all the scenarios and we were ready.   In June of 2007, Noah was born perfectly healthy, all the warnings, were just that warnings!   When I look at my two beautiful children, I feel so lucky to have them in my life and experience their wonderful little lives!  I also am so lucky to have such a wonderful and supportive husband! 

Well the Redbox Lucky to Have Friends Like You promotion is giving everyone the chance to score free movie credits now through St. Patrick’s Day.  The only thing better than a $1 movie rental is a free rental!  Rental credits are valid for ten (10) days after they’ve been deposited into your account.
