Even a blind squirrel finds a nut sometimes

Did you ever get the feeling that some really good shit was about to happen you (I'm sure I could have put this more eloquently)? I have that feeling now. I'm pretty sure part of it is due to still reveling in the ex boyfriend's misery. But, it's more than that (although that in and of itself has provided hours of warm fuzzy feelings).

I am an avid Texas Hold 'Em player (pretty good one too). I rely partially on gut feelings and instincts. In poker you can have a streak of bad cards or even poor calls that set you back. But every now and again, you just get a winning hand...you are due.

There is an often used saying in poker"Even a blind squirrel finds a nut sometimes". Can't you picture this squirrel? I can. He hunkers down and goes on the search, bumping into trees, occasionally sticking his nose into a thorny place. But he never gives up because he is hungry. Walla!(that is what we say in Texas, otherwise known as Voila) he finds a nut. Oh happy day! I'll bet he is so happy to find the nut that all he had to go thru to find that nut dissipates, he doesn't think about it. He thinks about his nut. This triumph provides him the necessary elation and energy to look for the next nut.

I think I smell a nut.
