Hi everyone, I want to tell you the story about my hobby from childhood. I was collecting four-leaf clovers what is popular in my country because of tradicional belief which says four-leaf clover brings the happiness in your life.
It all began when I was about 10 years old. As all children I was playing in grass and accidentally I saw a four-leaf clover. This was my first one what brought me my first yoj. The same day I found even three more four-leaf clovers. As a child I thought some magic is around me till I began to collect at least three four-leaf clovers a day. Then it began to be my routine.
Rarely I was searching for them, the most of them I found accidentally, just looking at grass some time, about a minute. I don`t remember what period I achieved the number of 100 four-leaf clovers. It was suprise for everyone I told about this. Even a journalist from my village found out and asked me for an interview. And here it is, my first moment of fame :)
From the newspaper
My collecting didn t stop (the fame didnt change me :) ), I continue to "look at grass" and till today I have 134 four-leaf clovers.
My album with 134 four-leaf clovers (it has many pages :P)
I`m not in touch with grass everyday anymore , so the number increases slowly, but still today, when I come on vacation in the village from my childhood, the place where everything began, I still have a habit of searching four-leaf clovers.
Me looking at grass :)
I dont know if youve ever tried to find some four-leaf clover and if this tradition exists in other countries as popular as in mine, so be free to describe me :) In a case you try to find some, I can give you some destruction:
Look at grass full of clovers from bigger height, dont set down your eyes just above grass because this way you have a huger view and clover will be found easier. And more, when you find a four-leaf clover, dont move your eyes from this place, there could be more of them because there is a seed of four-leaf clover. So, it`s possible there is or there will be more four-leaf clovers. If there are not in this moment, you can make a note of this place and come back a few days afterwards and check out.
And if you ask me if I am a happy person, I have to say I am because I still have a positive view on life and believe in progress. And if you ask me in traditional context of happiness, in many situations the fortune played the main role, but not always. :)
Thanks for reading.

Hey well this is certainly something different! :) I have never found a four leaf clover... although I have searched as we have the same superstition here in the UK. My son found one though and he was made up!
I would say best of luck, but it looks like you've got plenty already!!
@johleen
Oh, I'm glad you know about this superstition :) hmm yeah, it seems only some people can find it, my dad has never found, too, but I think everybody can find, someone fastly, and someone needs a long time, and then he loses his nerves :P

This is cool. I had a small collection that I used to carry in my wallet. I gave them away. My children look for them with me now. 🍀💜
Ooh, it's nice, I'm glad children spend time in nature, specially if fhey search for four-leaf clovers :)
You are not in touch with grass anymore how sad ;-( Cool post!
Yeah, unfortunately, in the city where I live now, there aren't many parks and green surfaces :) the fortune is I've collected clovers on the time! :))
I lived in many cities over the years. I live in Hawaii in a rain forest area now. Hey you could grow your own clovers. They keep popping up in out planters. Then you would have a page of one that you grew. LOL Anyway I like your idea I used to save pot leaves in a book ;-)
Oh, you live in Hawaii, you lucky one! Hmm, I will try to find some new clover. Wow, very interesting, pot leaves, is its planting popular in your country?
It was illegal for most of my life now you can have a licence. Yes I am pretty lucky. When I was a kid I used to dream of this place. I went to college in Hawaii I loved it!
Nice and good job! I used to look for 4-leaf glovers when I was young! :)
You, too? Oh, I'm glad, I didn't know this habit is as known by others as by us :) Did you collect a lot? :)
We say they bring good luck as well in the Netherlands. I did not collect them really, but sometimes I found one while camping! :)
I love this. My new ambition is to help my daughters find four leaf clovers. Yes it is lucky to find one here in UK as well. I always thought it was nigh on impossible - you have given me renewed hope.
Hehe oh I'm glad you're motivated again! :) Thanks for your comment
