Well...actually Leave it To 2020 to have two Friday the 13th's. Yep....today is that day that the lore tells us is magical in a not so nice way. The movie...the black cats...the not walking under ladders....the whole mystique of the day has quite a history.

In March this year we were sent home from school for two weeks due to this pandemic. Who knew those two weeks would morph into 6, 7, 8 months. We were sent home on March 13th, 2020, yep it was a Friday. Now they say, the entire world is in another wave of the pandemic and that the upcoming holidays will look very different for most.

Now today is another Friday 13....and its early in the day. Lots of time left to create mischief...i guess time will tell.

My own history also bought into the evil twist of a Friday the 13th. That was prior to November 13th 1992. It was also a Friday and my last day of chemotherapy. It had been a grueling 20 months prior to that and i was also a new mom , trying to raise an infant. I missed her first birthday, i wouldnt let my husband bring her to the hospital the entire time i was in there. My mother and brother came to live with us to help with caring for her, while i was fighting to get better. It was an all around terrible time.

BUT...its 28 years later and here i am writing this. This day has been dubbed my re birth day.......and ever since i have embraced ALL the Friday the 13th's.
💕🙏

So in this most unusual year, it stands to reason that a couple of Friday the 13th should be thrown in. I mean....why not.

I hope everyone enjoys this day in whatever way you can. If nothing else, its one day closer to the weekEnD ~~

Enjoy 😷

Congratulations on your re-birthday!

I love that you have such a positive experience with a date that so many connatate with negativity. I also appreciate the connection you provide to the previous Friday the 13th of 2020. Leaves me pondering if the two dates can in any way symbolize we've come full circle, but it seems to me it's only just an arc. Maybe by the next one in August we can somehow make it full circle.

Have a great day and enjoy your weekend.

Well there ya go! Good for you! 👍 ❗❗❗

I'm always especially careful of how I drive. But besides that, I try not to think about it. It's like that moth trying to avoid the lit candle 🕯.

Now ya got me thinking...
Do I drive to the store today for provisions or can I live without milk and toilet paper for one more day? 🤔
I'll drive really fast; I should be able to avoid all those unlucky ones.

Thanks much Braille.....and your post abt mysteries made me ponder the intricacies of relationships. I thank you for that. You re right....Thanksgiving in all we do !! We just must take our time , slow down, listen, smell the roses and be aware of what is all around us. I try for that daily ~~

Thanks for visiting my blog. Your journey has been longer and more difficult than mine. Mine is just more rare than most others. Because it is rare, researchers love me and thus hospitals like Mayo, drug companies, etc. all of whom have helped me. I figured if I didn't make it, I could at least participate in research that might help some other woman in the future. Have a wonderful, loving holiday!

Ohhhhh you re very welcome ladyL. i am in the research books too...although not rare...it was unusual for my age (36 ) and stage (3) at the time for non hodgkins lymphoma. The doc said...since i was young and relatively healthy with a good attitude that he was going to zap me with the strongest he could at the time. Thats why it was so grueling...i had a port for the chemo...still have the scar ...and an IV pole came home with me. Crazy n challenging times...all with a 1 yr old baby.
We are Blessed beyond measure though and is why i look at each day differently. Enjoy your daysssssssss ~~

You mentioned age as a factor. Most women with this type of rare cancer are quite young. Also, I decided to keep my port for awhile longer because my platelet count keeps going down and I keep getting dehydrated. No IV pole but I have a walker since I fell back in August. I also have uncontrolled A-fib which has been an issue off and on. I look at time differently as well and try to find something positive and memorable about each day. I should take a lesson from Jeff Bezos and take a photo each day.

All struggles.....interesting ...i just made another blog entry about struggles. We all have em for sure. Not a bad idea to take a photo everyday. Its just like blogging or writing ...the exercise is in doing it......whether we post anything or not. You have lots going on...the blood issues , the heart things...ugh. Ya....i remember getting transfusions of blood n platelets plenty of times...also a residual effect is lymphedema for me...which has worsened over the years. Its always something....but we are here to write this! YaYYyyyyy !! We can talk anytime....

Take care of You !!

To be honest with you to me everything is a mystery but I don't have to know everything or even anything to bask in the beauty of life and love. I am trying to slow down too. I don't know what has happened that something is riding my gas pedal. Thank you
