happy go lucky

Whilst on our recent family holiday I was explaining how I think it can be limiting for siblings to be ascribed a role: "the xxx one". Whilst growing up, my sister was "the happy go lucky one" (and the "photogenic one") and I felt I couldn't be those things. In the course of the conversation, someone said she sees me as happy go lucky - which felt very liberating. I'm not sure it's true tho, I am ultimately a Sensible type, rarely throwing caution to the wind as instead I weigh up and try to do The Right Thing.
I wonder if I would be happier if I trusted my luck rather than my judgement?

Teeth cleaning not so easy when wearing a large jangly hat :)

I guess this depends on how we define luck and think the phrase is more to do with how we react to life - do we worry or go with the flow? I am definitely more of a worrier, tho I try not to be.

I suspect happy go lucky people get invited to evenings out more - I see them as more fun. But maybe I get invited to more meetings where I get to use my big picture approach. And as I'm not a sitting in the pub kind of person, maybe it's all worked out for the best.
Yesterday not much went to plan. I wonder how today will go? I'm going to go and find my jester's hat and wear that into work, see if that helps me join in with the fun that is life :)

Hmm, it didn't get much of an outing, work was v busy. Just having my first brew of the day now - glad I saved that cream cake!!
