So today was a pretty lousy day for me and my family from start to finish?

Question

I mean, we all still have our health, but what a dark cloud full of events today. Geez.

What conspires to bring bad luck?

Answer 1

things happen and we are affected by them but it is up to you to consider it good or bad.

Answer 2

Attitude. You'll attract events, and they in turn will be amplified by your attitude.

Answer 3

i agree with 'Lovely' answering Karma. The More good you do the more gets done back, unless you are taken advantage of, which sucks especially.

Answer 4

There is no such thinng as luck, just how you deal with life's situations

Answer 5

your ex wife

Answer 6

karma

Answer 7

Thats just the way of life, sometimes you are the windshield and sometimes you are the bug.  Sorry life was not good today.  Heres hoping tomorrow is better for you.

Answer 8

Things happen for a reason.  I mostly think things happen to teach us something.  I think we learn from all experiences.  I hope your luck changes.

Answer 9

Call it karma if you like but you make your own luck good or bad.  But I have noticed that s#!t happens for no reason.  It is a new moon, solar flux is low, solar wind is slightly high, no sun spot activity.  What ever that means. Maybe the gods just hate you today.  Thank you Jesus!!!  

It's just your day in the barrel dude!  It happens!

Answer 10

Some days are just like that - call it the "Eeyore syndrome" - there's almost like a dark cloud that you can literally see.  The only thing you can do in situations like these is to laugh and make the best of it. Maybe also throw the towel in and go home. At least, as you said, you all still have your health, and your family was together.  Tomorrow has to be a better day.  Bad luck and dark clouds are only temporary conditions.

There is one other thought on this subject. There is a saying that if you expect bad things to happen, you won't be disappointed. If your day starts out bad and you just can't get past it, you may subconsciously be anticipating more bad things to happen, and be setting yourself up for the bad luck.

Answer 11

I don't beleive in "bad luck"... things happen to all of us from time to time...we don't draw it into us like a virus or something, alot of it depends on how we personally began something...perhaps if your tired or just have your mind on other things, we don't pay the needed attention to what is in front of us, so we miss important things that could have altered the outcome of whatever seems to have gone wrong or badly...A dark cloud sounds pretty bad...Hope somebodys holding up the umbrella for you all...Bad days suck!!!!!  Hope the night goes better, and that tomorrow is wonderful...Take care.

Answer 12

I may be misreading you but I think that you feel like you need to be trying to work things out with your wife for the kids, for the big tv and the nice things and the vacations but I have to tell you there is a remarkable difference from the you that is with your wife and the you that is in your little cottage by yourself with your kids during the week.  Even after Krystka was gone you seem so freer and more easy going from since you've been "trying to work things out."   If you are getting back together with your wife for the kids then you should lay all your cards on the table.  be upfront, if she wants you back bad enough then she will comply.  Being happily divorced is better than being miserable together. especially for the kids.  Now if you really love her and want to be with her then go for it but since you've been back you've done nothing but complain about her and be sad.  It's obvious in your questions and comments.  Sometimes people fall out of love with each other.  You need to find what attracted you to her and fall in love with her again.  Now she will never again be a skinny perfect little 20 yr old but  I know there are things that you like about her.  Her ability to think on the spot and the fact that she is a powerful person in the community.  I think that is something you really like.  Find that something that is going to make her perfect for you (not perfect because noone is....but perfect for you and the kids)  If she loves you as much as she says then she will work with you and try to make you happier as well.  

I think people make there lives happy or sad.  I think that for every bad there is a good and people either see the glass as half empty or half full.  We make our own little heaven's or h**l's here on earth.  No matter what you believe in or your religion is or where you go when you die....YOU determine how happy you are in the here and now.
