Looking at Friday the Thirteenth
I am not superstitious. The date on the calendar does not hold any inherent luck - good or bad. That said, there are many of my coworkers who seem to think that today is an unlucky day. One of them broke an ankle on a Friday the 13th. Another was in a car accident on a Friday the 13th. Still another had a bad breakup with a former boyfriend... the list goes on. Today is going to be a tough one. There is no denying that. I have lots of things I have to do and some will not be comfortable or enjoyable. Still it has nothing to do with the date. I have a plan to combat the negativity that will swirl today. I am going to do positive things today.
1. I will hand out 13 compliments today.
2. I'm going to help out 13 times.
3. I will update 13 SOPs.
4. I will discard 13 old obsolete files.
5. I will file 13 magazines.
6. I'm going to remove 13 uniforms that don't fit from circulation.
7. I'm handing out 13 prizes from my goody drawer.

That is a good idea! I will, I hope weed out 13 things on my desk!
Glad you liked my plan! I hope your desk is all the better thanks to Friday the 13th~
Wonderful idea! My youngest was born on the 13th, but I don't remember what day of the week it was.
My Father was born on the 13th - but it was a Sunday!!
I just checked. It was a Friday! And it was good.
What a good way to combat the negativity of the day!
I thought so but the fates were not impressed...
I didn't even realize the date until I read your post.
I like your idea to do 13 things.
I thought it would be a good way to get things done and to bring some positive vibes to the day.
What a wonderful idea! I had lunch with the ladies and they didn't know it was the 13th until we said something. I told May I didn't believe in luck either than wondered why on occasions I have wished someone the 'best of luck' in their endeavor. lol
The concept of luck is pervasive in our culture - even if we don't really believe. Seems a polite thing to say when wishing someone success.
