Author: of "Senility" ?! :) (BC)
Subject: The "Good Fortune" ...
In reply to: and, it's Friday! :) 's message, "It's the 13th ..." on 07:58:56 08/13/10 Fri

Quotes?!
I like quotes ...
this is the first one I found ...
re: "good luck" or "good fortune"! :)
I hope it doesn't offend anyone ...
but, for some reason it made me smile ...
I hope it does the same for some of ya'll out there!

“Dear Lord ...
"Please grant me the Senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference!" :)

*** this quote can be used by anyone who wishes that I /"BC" would "disappear" ...
I've tried to "leave" ...
believe me, I've tried.
but, "something" just won't let me?! :)
Guess it's gonna be up to one of ya'll to "delete" me ...
'cause it looks like I'm here for the "long haul" ...
unless otherwise instructed?! :)

interesting side note: the catpcha for this is "13 EQ"! :)

[> # 13 ... -- Serendipity / "BC" (), 08:36:53 08/13/10 Fri

So, I've been told ...
and, I've learned from experience * ...
*** being close to the age where the "younger generation" may consider me to be "senile" ...
or, better said ...
"goofy as all get out" ...

I've been told ...
and, I try my "darndest"*
*** is that a word?! - I think it is in TN! :)
Anyways ...
I try to "make the best of each day"!

And ...
I really enjoy considering "possibilities"?! :)
"I ain't gettin' any younger ya know!"
So, I might as well make the best of it don't ya think?!

Like most of you ...
"Life" has handed me some "bad luck" or "misfortune" from time ...
But ..
I enjoy the possibility of "turning the tables" on "fate" ...
searching for ways to approach negative situations with a positive attitude!

Re: The number "13" ...
For some reason, it reminds me of my Algebra class ...
First time I saw it on the list of requirements to "graduate" I "cringed" ...
But, once I got into it ...
began "playing with numbers" ...
I learned more than one way to "approach a problem"

So, what if I "break down" the number "13" ...
which is said to be "bad luck" ...
what if I "break it down" into all the possible "combinations" or "scenarios"?!
*** elmininating the #'s "13" & "0" ...
'cause we don't want the "Bad Luck" of "13" combined with a "Zero" ...
"Fail"! :)

So, here's all the different ways of "looking" at "13" ...
in a "positive light"! :)

1 & 12
2 & 11
3 & 10
4 & 9
5 & 8
6 & 7

In this example, maybe we could say there are six possible "scenarios" for what some may consider to be "bad luck" ?!
Six sets of 13
Six times 13 is ...
"78" ...

Now ...
Let's "break it down" ?! :) ...
"7" is "Good Luck"
and,
"8" is the number of "New Beginnings"!

"Accentuate the Positive ..."
"Eliminate the Negative ..."
"Stand fast in the Affirmative" ! :)

Thanks for listening!
with love from, BC :)
