"Elephants and Family"
I am always amazed at the things I learn about myself when I am considering the daily photo prompts. Today I realized that I don't ever think about luck or being lucky. I don't have any tokens or trinkets that I think bring me luck. I am not particularly superstitious. I am not a risk taker. All this made me realize that I was at a loss as to what to photograph today. It also made me seriously think about luck and what being lucky means.
I finally decided that I don't really believe in luck. I believe in synchronicity, which may be perceived as luck but really isn't. And, I believe in being blessed. The good fortune that I enjoy in my life comes by way of blessings, not luck. These thoughts are not formed well enough to be coherent right now. They may appear in a later post.
All that said, I still needed a photo.
These two elephants sit on a shelf above my desk. Elephants, like rainbows and four leaf clover, are symbols of luck or good fortune. I believe there is some debate about how lucky they are depending on whether their trunk is up or down. Elephants are also a symbol of family. My two elephants happen to be note or picture holders. With a picture of the girls on one and our family Christmas picture on the other, I am reminded of how blessed I really am.
