Did you miss it?
Due to the quirks of our calendar, Friday the 13th comes around once every 6 to 10 months, and this past Friday was it! There’s even a name for the fear of Friday the 13th – paraskavedekatriaphobia!
Apparently some people even refuse to get out of bed in case any bad luck strikes them! But we know better, don’t we?
So how can we be one of the lucky ones- the ones for whom everything always works out well, who are always happy and smiling and go through life with a skip?
Well there’s lots of advice and if you didn’t take any of it this last Friday you can save it and use for the next one on March 13th. (Or maybe don’t wait, and just use it now!)
“Shallow men believe in luck. Strong men believe in cause and effect.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson. (We can get clear and visualize, but we still have to get up off our backsides.)
“A pound of pluck is worth a ton of luck.” -James A. Garfield
“Luck is what you have left over after you give 100 percent” -Langston Coleman
Everyday is a miracle and a lucky day. If you just pause and think about it, you are already very lucky to be even alive and have all the amazing things that you have in your life.
So this past week’s Friday the 13th, I hope that rather than hiding under the bed, that you took on the world and went out and made your own luck.
You know it makes sense.
P.S. I was going to wish you the best of luck, but you know you don’t need it!

So does this relate at all to “the guy” that was hit in the side of the head with a can of soda and felt lucky it was a soft drink? I am asking for a friend.
