THANKFUL MONTH....Day Thirteen

 

*******************************************
        THANKFUL REFLECTIONS Day 13
Holidays are what I’m thankful today.  It’s a day to celebrate with family and at times friends.  November gives us Veterans Day which past and Thanksgiving which will be coming up. I like the thought of people gathering for celebrations; even in these uncertain pandemic times.  
********************************************
It’s Friday and the date is the thirteenth. People are superstitious and this day made me think what to do the acrostic about, so it became thirteen.  Superstitions are part of our lives. They are unknown fears often irrational.  Now the black cat one gets me.  I adore black cats as well as all white fluffy ones. As a kid we had the one about stepping on a crack.  Quite interesting was that as well as the open umbrella inside.  I still do the spilled salt one though.
Dominoes was something I never got into all that much until the Triominoes game came out.  My first husband and I enjoyed playing that game with his mother and others.   We had game nights at her house playing cards or whatever game was on hand. Families don’t tend to play games anymore it seems.  Hand held devices or the computer take away the fun of competition.  
Sitting around the table playing a board games or card games with family and friends brings everyone close together.  
I did enjoy certain board games; for some reason Monopoly was never my favorite though.  
Until tomorrow....have a great day and as always Stay Safe.

Take heed world today is Friday the 
    thirteenth
Hope you are staying calm not panicking 
It’s just another Friday and day of the month 
Remember superstitions are only notions 
They are an irrational fear of the unknown
Everyone has heard about breaking a mirror 
Even about a black cat crossing your path  
Not to forget opening an umbrella indoors
Thirteen is lucky when it’s a bakers dozen
Having received an extra donut not unlucky 
     in my book

Dominoes a fun family game to play
Only I rather play a round of Triominoes 
My reason I’d usually win most of the time 
It was enjoyable to have game nights 
No we all play alone on our devices 
Oh how the times have changed 

Don’t know where game night has gone
And why no one gets together for       
      competition 
Yet here I am ready for a game of FreeCell
