The news will be chock full of talk about the superstition surrounding this day. Read about the history of Friday the 13th and the possible origins for fearing this date.
As for me, I embrace it. There are 13 lunar cycles in a year (I cherish the moon). A baker’s dozen means one extra goody for me. Friday is a wonderful day of the week, the start of the weekend. There is no reason to build up fear where none is justified.
Oh yes, another reason to enjoy this day? It marks the fact I’ve now been married two months.
Happy Friday the 13th, everyone. Go break a mirror, walk under a ladder, and cross the path of a black cat. And don’t bother throwing salt over your shoulder.
Two months already? My how time flys. 🙂
Congrats on two months. Hope you’re still enjoying the honeymoon. I’ve never worried about Friday the 13th, but found it curiously amusing that a Russian co-worker told me of Russian superstitions: they fear Monday the 13th.
happy 2 months anniversary!!!! 🙂
Totally Congrats!
And I have to say Wow to Jan’s comment—because I always thought that it was just me who looked at this date and thought—who could knock a Friday? Fridays rock. If your going to be scared of a day of the week, I agree, let it be Monday. Don’t we generally have issues with Monday anyway, even in our western technologized modern society?
Congratulations! With two black cats in my house, I long ago gave up that superstition. They’re wonderful cats and I feel lucky to have them. I am sorry to read about Sophie.
