How&#8217;s it going guys? Today&#8217;s post is a bit different. See, I&#8217;ve seen guest bloggers over the years I&#8217;ve read blogs, but I&#8217;ve never done one myself. After talking to my friend Lacey, who was also interested in having a guest blogger&#8230; We decided to switch gears and write something for each other! Each of us wrote about the things that make us lucky. Without further ado, let&#8217;s hear Lacey out. Give her all your love, guys!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Hello, there! My name\u2019s LaceyAnne! You can call me Lacey. I\u2019ll be your guest blogger today! I\u2019m a good friend of Jaluna\u2019s (herein called \u201cLunaluv\u201d), and am so honored to be her first guest blogger! I\u2019m a call center rep and Game Master (at an escape room) by day, and a writer by night. I also read Tarot, make boondoggle, play with cats, all that good stuff. You can find me and my blog at <a href=\"http:\/\/brokencrayoncoloring.wordpress.com\">brokencrayoncoloring.wordpress.com<\/a>.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Happy St. Patrick\u2019s Day, by the way! In the midst of all this Coronavirus chaos, I\u2019ve decided to honor St. Patrick\u2019s Day by writing to you all about what makes me feel lucky in life.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First of all, I\u2019m lucky to be here. You see, after my mom had my sister, she was told she was infertle. Six years later, \u201cMerry Christmas, you\u2019re pregnant!\u201d With me. My mom had several complications while pregnant with me. And when I was born, my umbilical cord was wrapped around my neck twice. I almost strangled myself! But I made it!<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Skipping over my spoiled childhood, I\u2019m still very lucky in my adult life. I have my boyfriend (herein called \u201cBeloved\u201d) who treats me like a queen. When I do something stupid or impractical, Beloved <em>teaches<\/em> me how to do it the right way. The other day, he got really mad at me. But when he saw how I was reacting to his anger at me, he almost immediately calmed and hugged me. And promised me he would teach me better. And we have this wonderful apartment together, Beloved and I. And we work as a team. I\u2019m so lucky to have him in my life.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m lucky to have my two cats (herein called \u201cKittehs\u201d). They\u2019re not as cuddly as I\u2019ve always wanted, but they do love us and we love them. Sometimes the Kittehs cuddle with us.\u00a0<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-attachment-id=\"542\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/jrolik.caludin.com\/index.php\/2020\/03\/17\/guest-blogger-lacey\/20200206_153224\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jrolik.caludin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/20200206_153224.jpg?fit=1364%2C663&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1364,663\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"20200206_153224\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jrolik.caludin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/20200206_153224.jpg?fit=300%2C146&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jrolik.caludin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/20200206_153224.jpg?fit=640%2C311&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1364\" height=\"663\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jrolik.caludin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/20200206_153224.jpg?fit=660%2C321&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-542\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jrolik.caludin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/20200206_153224.jpg?w=1364&amp;ssl=1 1364w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jrolik.caludin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/20200206_153224.jpg?resize=300%2C146&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jrolik.caludin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/20200206_153224.jpg?resize=1024%2C498&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jrolik.caludin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/20200206_153224.jpg?resize=768%2C373&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jrolik.caludin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/20200206_153224.jpg?w=1280 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m so lucky to have Lunaluv as such a good friend. She\u2019s so awesome, supportive, loving, and helpful. I always know I can rely on her to support me when I\u2019m stressed. She\u2019s one of my best friends&#8211;and that\u2019s saying something. I don\u2019t have the luxury of many friends. I just wish there was more I could do for her on a regular basis.\u00a0<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have a home, a job, family, friends, pets, electronics, clothes, food, and water. I have blankets galore and indoor plumbing. I have a car and furniture.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, we forget how lucky we are. What things in your life make you feel lucky? Thank you for reading!
