The has been many occasions in my life when I thought I was lucky. Sometimes things happened to me and I felt so happy about it, or couldn't believe that these good things happened to me, that I had to tell someone. I was told a lot of times that I boast, but I was just so happy and had to share it. I just could believe that such a thing could happen or such a present could be given to me - I mean - I don't deserve it!
When I get spoilt, I feel blessed, touched and a lot of times incredibly lucky. I do not take it for granted or think that I am better than other people. I do get spoilt a lot and good things happen to me, but for a big part of my life I was so wrapped up in my own issues and insecurities that I didn't see that.
I also like pretty things. I love pretty things!
A while ago I lost my heart on a coat at Trenery. It was about double the price I am prepared to pay for a coat. I can't remember telling my old boss about the coat, but I obviously did. When I sat in his office for the last time, saying my goodbyes, he said: 'Oh, I'm going to deposit money in your account for that coat u wanted but said it was too expensive.' I got tears in my eyes. Because at that point I felt like the luckiest, blessed girl on this planet. That someone I worked for for two months could give me something I wanted so much blew my mind away. I felt like I do not deserve such a big gift!
Well, I bought the coat on my first day back in Cape Town. I felt so proud walking through the Waterfront with the sounds of Vuvuzelas in the background.
I wore my coat today and I felt like the luckiest girl ever, no matter about the fact that I have a lot of things to sort out, need to start my new life and have so many uncertainties, I knew I would be okay. Life is going to be great here. I am going to be blessed and spoilt and happy. And I deserve it.
