Does every dog have his day?

This bit does not have much to do with Moscow Russia or kids but is a kind of open question. I started this blog as a way to fill time during my early mundane childcare duties and have continued it to now. Writing publicly can be done by anyone and can be very therapeutic. I say thank god for the internet. I enjoy writing for the sake of writing. A blog is not really the same as sitting on a psychiatrists couch, but it sure helps. Writing online is a way of expressing yourself to strangers, to friends and to acquaintances . Now I know how housewives must have felt in the 50's and 60's at home with the kids all day. They had no internet, only neighbors and coffee mornings they were "desperate housewives". I applaud these women of yesteryear. It must have been tough. Before I took on my full time home role, I had no idea how it would be.

A thought popped into my empty head today while walking in the park.  Does every dog have its day? I mean at some time in everyone's life do they have an opportunity or a bit of luck that changes their lives for ever?

Take the pretty sixteen year old girl sitting on a train when she is spotted by a model agency scout and becomes a top model, take the actor who answers a job advert for an extra bit part and hits the big time, take the Russian who bought a flat or factory at the collapse of the former USSR, who later becomes a millionaire, take the person who wins the lottery. I do not think of myself as at all unlucky, I have food in my stomach, a home and some money in the bank. I do not live in a hut in Africa, I do not struggle to bring up a family in poverty, I count my blessings and are thankful for them. However, I can't help thinking when will my day come? Maybe we all ask that question at some time in our lives. Do we all have a lucky break? Do we all get the chance to be in the right place at the right time? Do some people never have their day? Why do some people seem to be in the right place at the right time? Is it calculated or lucky? They say money makes money and I think this is true but some people start with nothing and build fortunes while others just seem to have it easy, or is this a popular myth? Where do I get this map to be in the right place at the right time?

I do not wish to publicly gaze at my navel and analyze myself, but rather I wish to ask this question, do we all have our day? Do we have our moment when everything changes in a positive way? Does it happen to all, or just to some people? Does it happen to everyone one at some time? From the kid in Beijing, to the out of work singer in London, to the artist in Paris? Is there such a thing as luck or do we make our own luck? I do believe in luck and that we also make our own luck but I also believe every dog has his or her day at some point in their lives or am I barking up the wrong tree dear reader? Sorry for another bad pun.
