Here, the weather has been in the high 90's and since I don't do well in the heat, I have not been a happy girl. But I live in a place where I can experience four seasons.

Of course, there are people who will report treacherous things happened in their lives on Friday 13th but I'm sure those things have happened regardless of the day.

I was assigned #13 and all my friends thought that was bad luck. They were tapping on my shoulder like I already lost. But I won and since then I've kept in mind that 13 is my lucky number. But that's just the number. <br />Anyway, for Friday 13th, like yesterday, I was worried that I won't Gerenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12008614612927700414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4166133926661022482.post-67374947507378221302012-07-14T21:30:41.402+10:002012-07-14T21:30:41.402+10:00P.S.

Same thing as with rituals or prayers; they work because you believe they do.
