If you've looked at the calendar, you know it's Friday the 13th. There are probably people who won't get out of bed or leave their house today. Not me! I'm not superstitious at all.
My first husband's grandfather(for whom both my son and grandson are named)was. He'd walk a city block to keep from walking where a black cat had crossed. He wouldn't walk under a ladder(but wait, wouldn't it just make sense not to walk under a ladder?) He threw salt over his shoulder, and he'd never start a job on Friday he couldn't finish that day.
He had a lot more, but those are the ones I remember best. He was a lovely, wonderful man that I miss and who I think of often. But superstitious, yes, he was.
How about you? Do you have any thing that you do or don't do because of superstition? I've tried to think of anything I do, but can't think of anything.
I found this link and it has some really unusual superstitions http://www.corsinet.com/trivia/scary.html If you have time, go look at them, they are quite funny, and many of them are things I'd never considered a superstition.
When I think of superstitions, I think of the Darling family on the old Andy Griffith shows, and the movie 'The Shepherd of the Hills' which is one of my favorite John Wayne movies.
Hope you are having a great Friday. Pray for our country. Love one another.

I LOVE Friday the 13th. And if you check the calendar we get another one of them next month I think, yes, I just checked and we do. My daughter was born on Friday the 13th and ever since then it has been my lucky day. 13 is MY number. I was blessed in the best way on that day so I am very superstitious in the fact that I think it is a great day and number....combined together!
