Crazy Bird pooped on me. Is it lucky? Will I win the lottery?

It was Sunday November 18, 2018 in Sydney. I passed by this park and thought I might sit down for a minute or two.

Standing at the traffic lights, my foot started hurting. That made me think of the pain in my life. This year has been tough. Please check my post on mental health. I started talking to myself and my friend “Mr. Pain.”

I said, “Hey Mr. Pain, thanks for all the lessons. I’ve learnt a lot from them. But you know what? It’s time for me to move on. I’m DONE with this lesson. It’s time for you to go now and leave me alone. I may see you from time to time in the future, but it’s time for YOU to move on now!”

There was a park nearby and I decided to sit down. I looked at the blue sky and the birds who were flying around. They were happy because it was a fine day. I smiled to see them zipping here and there in the sky.

I spent a few minutes talking to myself and Mr. Pain’s other friends. Then a crazy bird flew by and pooped on me. It fell on my phone. Then I noticed some poop on my glasses. I took out a tissue to wipe them. It was a windy day and the strong wind blew my tissue away.
