Superstitions

If this Friday the Thirteenth lived up to its dreaded reputation, here are some hints to impove your day the next time this calendar date appears.
  • Don't sing before breakfast, or you will cry before the night.
  • Don't kill any spiders; it brings bad luck
  • Carry a rabbit's foot with you.
  • Find a four-leaf clover
  • Make a wish while crossing a bridge
  • Cross your fingers and wish for a good day. It should come true.
  • Find a pin or a penny and pick it up.
  • Find bubbles in your coffee for needed luck. To insure success, drink a lot of coffee.

If, after all these suggestions, you are still fearful of the next Friday the Thirteenth, my advise is to relax. I got married on the Thirteenth. It's true that my husband-to-be got out of the hospital two hours before the wedding and the honeymoon hotel over booked leaving us without a room, but our marriage lasted thirty-two years. I call that luck.
