I have illness, I was an orphan by the time I was ten years old and lost other family besides, I was beaten daily by an ex (I won't go on) yet still feel lucky for what I have now.
Sorry to get deep...

Bless ya Kerry (I did type Jaye again before
), its really good that you overlook the bad things and focus on the good things life has offered you! Like your daughter whom you seem really proud of.
I agree with Zippy that its just a word to cover good/bad outcomes, and that you can make yourself lucky by either being positive, but also getting involved in loads of things and arranging stuff.
My nan called me her lucky charm the other day because she randomly rubbed my tummy and that night won £500 at bingo and was like its because I rubbed your tummy!
Now she asks to rub it before she goes, not cool >_>
