Friday the 13th - What is your superstition?

The rabbit foot doesn't appear to be all that lucky for the rabbit. A four-leaf clover may have some potential. A horse shoe doesn't exactly ring of excitement and adventure unless on a horse. There are millions of lucky charms out there. Tomorrow is Friday the 13th and many feel that is an unlucky day. No one appears to be exactly certain of the origin of this phenomenon. Not that facts substantiate any superstition. I suspect all of us have some type of good luck symbol or equally some type of omen for bad luck. Actors, athletes, speakers and numerous performers and maybe some salespersons have a routine prior to game/show time. What works seems to get repeated. Once successful, why chance breaking the pattern. Well, tomorrow is the 13th and it will be a Friday. Maybe that is a day to start someone new. To break from some previous pattern and move in a different direction. That may not be lucky or unlucky but an opportunity. Why not take the library into your new adventure? Or maybe a trip to the museum, theater, art store, park or spending time with friends is a Friday break. What is your superstition?
