My late sister (she been gone 15 years this year - a tragedy as she did not see her 50th birthday) was always a very superstitious person and as children do we sometimes fell out. I would then (to my shame now) tell her of some new superstition I had heard and kept for just such an occasion and bless her she would have another whatever to be wary of.

As I grew to an adult I decided to try to turn all my sister's superstitions to the positive from the negative.

What is the point of my telling you this - well - it is Friday the 13th and I know some people almost dread getting out of bed today because they expect something to go wrong.

I now regard this day as a very good day and LOOK for some good in it. Today I have a feeling of great contentment after a few difficult days. Now that's good isn't it?
Happiness is transient and can come and go but a contented heart can still be found even in sad or troubled times.


Wishing everyone a contented day
