Friday the 13th

Today is Friday the 13th. It is considered the unluckiest of days in many superstitions. There are many origins of Friday the 13th superstitions. You can read more about Friday the 13th on Wikipedia. Click here.

The fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskavedekatriaphobia or paraskevidekatriaphobia, a specialized form of triskaidekaphobia, a phobia (fear) of the number thirteen. Yes, there is such a phobia and there are "cures" for it. The triskaidekaphobes need to learn to change their negative thoughts to positive ones, as well as to realise that they have the ability to create much of their own good and bad luck.

Today is just like any other ordinary day for us. Actually, no one noticed it was Friday the 13th until someone pointed it out. It is all in the mind. If you focus on the day and pay attention to the supersitition, Friday the 13th will become an unlucky day because you create your own bad luck. So how lucky or unlucky you want the day to be, depends on you, not just on Friday the 13th, the same goes for every other day.

I had a pretty good Friday the 13th. What about you?
