Friday the 13th

Friday the 13th.  Traditionally a day of bad luck.  Did you wake up Friday morning  and decide that this is the day that you are unlucky?  I didn't, and I didn't spend the day avoiding black cats and waiting for something bad to happen.   As a matter of fact, I hadn't even thought about it until now.   What makes one person lucky and another unlucky?   ATTITUDE.  I was watching the weather channel today and they were interviewing a family devastated by a flood in the USA.  Their house had been wiped out and they have nothing left.  The father said  "we are just lucky to be alive".  No worldly possessions, no home,  just surrounded by his family.  He didn't say we were unlucky.  He appreciated what was important.   Life is a gift,  and is to short to wait for luck.  Create your own opportunities every moment in how you think and how you act.  Then throw some salt over your shoulder for good luck, come on... it can't hurt.
