Just Say No to Triskaidekaphobia

Shadows from saw palmetto stripe the trunk of a nearby tree

It has been said that the dark shadows of the imagination are far more frightening than reality. Today is Friday the 13th, and to some, it is considered to be an unlucky day. But just remember, it is Friday, and there will be no more work until Monday (YAY!), Also, there is no proven link between bad luck and any number, including 13, so it is safe to let go of the triskaidekaphobia (fear of the number 13). Just enjoy the day knowing that it is the last workday of the week, and let the happy thoughts of the coming weekend displace any imagined fears of Friday the 13th.

May you have a very happy Friday and weekend!
