Friday The 13th
Friday The 13th
Superstition (stupid/tradition) says that today is an unlucky day.
Historically, such negativity may stem from there having been 13 places at the Last Supper, but, then again, there were 13 colonies that gave birth to our great nation.
In my immediate family, all birthdays include a 3 (pictured) and it has been my good fortune to have been married to Joanne for most of my life and she was born on November the 13th, which happens to be World Kindness Day and personifies her ❤️
No Triskaidekaphobia here!
Today is dawning beautiful and wondrous and I face it optimistically, eyes wide open, ready to deal with whatever challenges life offers on this first day of the rest of my life.

Thanks for teaching me a new word- I had to google it - Triskaidekaphobia is the irrational, intense fear or avoidance of the number 13.
I love l that you embrace it and every single day. And this years bonus ….after Friday the 13th - is Valentine’s Day 💜
Never was afraid of Friday…
Never was afraid of Friday the 13th, but not attched to the "3" as you are.

Judaism holds 13 as one of its sacred numbers! My blessed brother was born on November 13th so it is definitely a holy day! And yes, enjoy them all!

As you may know because your son David is an alum (as is my son Harlan), Colgate University in upstate NY is 13-centric, not 13-phobic. Their origin story involves the number 13 repeatedly and affirmatively. And every Friday the 13th, they call it "Colgate Day," and celebrate in some fashion (typically involving raising $$ for the university).
Did not know that!

The 1-3, 3-1 quinella was always my favorite play at Dania Jai Lai. My first son Jared was born on 1/3. I raised 1 girl and 3 boys. I do not fear the 1-3, I embrace it.
