With A Little Bit Of Luck!

      September 13th marks another one of those
unusual 'holidays' that don't get a lot of public
attention. And this one is likely to test your
nerve!
       This is "Defy Superstition Day!"
        Bet you didn't know it!
        I like the fact that a day set aside for you
to challenge traditional superstitions falls on the
13th of the month!
         Nobody seems to know how this 'holiday'
got started. But it has been around since 1999.
         The concept is simple. You're expected
to ignore cautions usually associated with
superstitions. For instance, if you see a black
cat let it walk right in front of you. Laugh at the
threat that something bad will happen.
          Forget crossing your fingers or
knocking on wood.
          I think I might still think twice about
walking under a ladder. Seems there's as much
common sense as superstition connected with that
one!
          Break a mirror, as long as it's yours and
you can afford to either do without it or buy a
new one. You don't really believe it means seven
years bad luck...do you?
          And spill some salt just to prove the
Devil won't get you just because you didn't
throw some over your left shoulder!
          Spend the day challenging all the
superstitions you can think of.
          It should be fun.
          Afterwards you can enjoy the other
'holiday' observed on September 13th.
          It's "Fortune Cookie Day."
          Let your future be decided by the
fortune you find in your cookie instead of by
all those silly superstitions!
           Hope your fortune is a good one, that
your wish on a star comes true, and that all
your NEWS is good!
