THIRTEENTH

Friday the 13th often brings the superstitious out in all of us. Hard to know when the 13th became a bad omen. Actually there are people in my life that have a birthday on the 13th and have had good luck. Good luck charms, rituals have often been part of many people's lives. We see it with sports' figures. Like the Curler who did not change his socks! Do you have any thoughts or know of others who fear the 13th, do not walk under a ladder, watch out for the black cat or in Italian- il mal'occhio- the evil eye. Personally I prefer to think we can make choices that take us in the right directions. Any ideas?
