Subject: # 13 ...
In reply to: and, it's Friday! :) 's message, "It's the 13th ..." on 07:58:56 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 :)
