Meeting the girl that I would one day marry when we were both quite young. I was only 17, she was a couple of months away from turning 16. We hit it off right away and never looked back. We've been together for over 30 years now. I'm very glad that I avoided the modern dating scene.

Already posted, above, but here it is again:
Years ago, on my way to an event, I was wearing my treasured silver bracelet, bought by my late uncle during WWII. He had bought one for each of his three sisters. Theirs had, apparently, been lost long ago. It is unique and beautiful, with figures of Gods and Demons on each of the six panels. As I traveled to my destination, suddenly I noticed that it had slipped off my wrist. I was devastated. I thought carefully and recreated my steps and realized it must have fallen from my arm when I dropped a load of newspapers into a dumpster, provided for that purpose. I returned to the dumpster, which was large and nearly full, and climbed up, and in, and after searching through the mess, THERE IT WAS! It is precious to me because my mother gave it to me long ago, before her death, and it is one of my treasures. Yesterday, at a gathering, I caught it just in time as it slipped from my wrist. Now I will take it to the jeweler and have a chain attached. NO MORE FOOLISH CHANCES!

Two years after I got married I wanted to buy a champion bred Jack Russel terrier puppy it was already on order and soon to be shipped. My third world in-laws were against it and forbid me. It caused great despair and my wife had fights with her parents but to no avail and needless to say the order was cancelled. Then one night around six months later I was neither asleep or fully awake but I had imagined that one day I would own three mix breed terriers with Yellow lab a mix of my two favorite breed dogs. I imagined in detail two larger size and one smaller size because I was unsure the exact size I really wanted. I then began to imagine this would occur during my retirement years so I could spend all my time loving my new best friends. Fifteen years later on a rice paddy farm in Thailand where I would often homestay a small lab terrier mix dog came to the farm at 6 weeks. One year later another dog came at 6 weeks of age. The two loved each other and had pups. The two pups looked exactly like the mother only bigger. I went back to Thailand a year later after I had decided to take the four dogs back to America. One day after several months in America it all came back to me the half asleep dream that I alone directed the outcome and remembered in detail the dogs I wanted and they fit to a tee. It was pre- ordained luck through self hypnosis and the lesson is you can take negative energy flip it to positive follow the path of your heart and even if you forget about it that one day your dreams can come true! Since then we have done many amazing things together and every day they are a great source of joy and love as we are very active sledding, Joring, hiking, hunting and swimming and more international travel exceeding all my dreams.

In 1990 I won a shade over £15000 because an ex girlfriend of mine told me about a horse that they were training in the racing stable where she worked - before mobile phones ; the only reason she contacted me was to see how I was after a friend of hers told her that she'd bumped into me the day before and had mentioned the name of the hotel where I was working, this led onto talking about her work and the fact that they were training this wonder horse - started putting bets on it 5 months before it ran (with correspondingly high odds), on the day of the race that it had been aimed at, it won as an odds on favourite in a hack canter. Thank you Kribensis.

In desperate times the Lord always comes thru with an answer. As a recent widow with young children to raise: I was mindful of the horrible tales of what happened to widows and their children when a new man came into their lives. So, I did not date. I just gave up all hope of future happiness. Then a lovely man came a calling. He was everything I desired. We were married 40 years, until his death. Not luck ... divine intervention.
