A quotation from Abigail Adams
Of all pride, that which persons discover from Riches is the weakest. If we look over our acquaintance, how many do we find who were a few years ago in affluence, now reduced to real want.
Abigail Adams (1744-1818) American correspondent, First Lady (1797-1801)
Letter (1790-02-20) to Mary Smith CranchMore about this quote: wist.info/adams-abigail/84757/

After years of listening to true crime podcasts, I can tell you one thing: if you are a female "with a smile that brightens up a room," you are basically waiting for your own episode. Apparently.

Bad luck of the day. Needed to change the shower faucet ... the adapter broke right off and parts of it stuck in the pipe. (the broken off piece seemed to be of bad quality)
Yeah one of those days.
And of course nothing got this piece unstuck and I needed to call a plumber.

On the flip side, “bad luck” often hides hesitation, fear of failure, or lack of groundwork. People wait too long, aim for perfection, or doubt themselves right out of opportunities. #BadLuck #GoodLuck #Emberhart https://podcasts.apple.com/fi/podcast/emberhart-podcast/id1784530203?l=fi&i=1000706959118

“Just a little bit of bad luck”
…sure, let’s start by calling it that and set the tone… 🤔
As I write this, I just had my check-up at the hospital. Two x-rays were taken and then we had a chat with the first surgeon (a different one attended me after the dislocation and she did the second surgery). He started the convo with asking how things were going now, as I started off with a little bit of bad luck…
Well, that triggered me before I had even had a chance to respond… 😣

The horror writer always brings bad news: you’re going to die, he says; he’s telling you to never mind Oral Roberts and his “something good is going to happen to you,” because something bad is also going to happen to you, and it may be cancer and it may be a stroke, and it may be a car accident, but it’s going to happen. And he takes your hand and he enfolds it in his own, and he takes you into the room and he puts your hands on the shape under the sheet … and tells you to touch it here … here … and here …
Stephen King (b. 1947) American author
